+Calibre is an e-book library manager. It can view, convert and catalog
+e-books in most of the major e-book formats. It can also talk to e-book
+reader devices. It can go out to the internet and fetch metadata for your
+books. It can download newspapers and convert them into e-books for
+convenient reading. It is cross platform, running on Linux, Windows
+and OS X.
+
+Requires: pysetuptools, lxml, python-dateutil, pil, BeautifulSoup,
+ClientForm, mechanize, dnspython, qt4, sip, and pyqt4.
+
+Optional: unrar and openjpeg.
+
+Warning: It is best to uninstall calibre first before upgrading to a new
+version.
+
+Warning: This package conflicts with pyPdf, CherryPy and cssutils, as it
+provides its own copy of these programs.
+
+Note: The ebook viewer functionality doesn't work with Qt 4.5.0 and
+pyqt4 4.4.4. However, it does work with Qt 4.4.3 and pyqt4 4.4.4. As an
+alternative, FBReader is a good choice to view downloaded content on the
+desktop.
