NAME

       calibre - calibre

          calibre [options] [path_to_ebook or calibre url ...]

       Launch  the  main  calibre Graphical User Interface and optionally add the e-book at path_to_ebook to the
       database. You can also specify calibre URLs to perform various different actions, than just adding books.
       For example:

       calibre://view-book/test_library/1842/epub

       Will open the book with id 1842 in the EPUB format from the library "test_library" in the calibre  E-book
       viewer.  Library  names are the folder names of the libraries with spaces replaced by underscores. A full
       description of the various URL based actions is in the User Manual.

       Whenever you pass arguments to calibre that have spaces in  them,  enclose  the  arguments  in  quotation
       marks. For example: "/some path/with spaces"
