I use Calibre to manage my Kindle pdfs and books. It is one of the oldest pieces of software I use, and it works really well.

Just a nit/aside: I'm sure the OS you are using has much older software built in. Iif on Windows, imagine the legacy that's stuck there for backwards compatibility. If on Linux, most of that is really old, updated recently perhaps, but created a long time ago. macOS is similar to Linux, though arguably worse as they dont update software that changed from gpl2 to gpl3, iirc.

There's a lot of really old software you probably use anytime you are on a computer. can't forget all of that!

as an avid calibre user myself, yay there are dozens of us! :)

Does anything trump GNU Maxima at this point?
