History

Kovid Goyal started developing libprs500 on 31 October 2006, when the Sony PRS-500 was introduced. The main idea was to enable the use of the PRS-500 on Linux. Goyal, with support from the MobileRead forums, reverse-engineered the proprietary file format LRF.

In 2008, the name was changed to calibre, generally written in lowercase even at the beginning of a sentence.
