Calibre

Without a doubt, we have loved this software because of how easy it is to use and how useful it has been for us. We have been able to supervise communications between employees, customers, and suppliers, monitoring that our rules and policies are met at all scales, improving performance and productivity at work.

• The Calibre ribbon interface could use some updating. When space is limited the ribbon menu ends with a set of arrows requiring the user to click on to drop down and see the rest of the menu. There should be an option to automatically shrink the ribbon to fit within the width of the Calibre window.
• Calibre's Help command directs you to an online website for assistance. It would be great if there was an option to have a built-in help file that does not require an online presence.

Not only has the customer support for Calibre been great, but the community surrounding it is great too. Users are ready and willing to jump in to help you solve a particular issue you're encountering with Calibre. As a result, I've expanded what we do with Calibre quite a bit through community support of its plugin infrastructure.

FoxitPhantom PDF is not a direct 1 for 1 comparison to Calibre, but I called it out because some of what we'd use FoxitPhanton for is supplanted by Calibre. Calibre has built in meta-data editing tools, and that applies to PDFs as well, which is a huge benefit as we don't need to access multiple different applications to ensure our digital media has its metadata properly filled out. Previously, any digital media in PDF format would have required a PDF editor to update its metadata.
