Calibre 0.8.44 released with "absolute" fullscreen mode

Calibre is a powerful free open-source e-book library management tool with solid features like e-book conversion, sync, news download, versatile e-book viewer and more.

There are users who, when reading books, prefer to have a minimalistic, distraction-free reading experience, eliminating the "space" between the eyes and the displayed information, users that are not-so-comfortable with a desired "pack" of information cluttered by shiny colorful icons, especially when the "absolute" fullscreen mode gives one the ability to easily perform the same actions as when in "regular" view.

Calibre 0.8.44 has been released, adding, among other fixes and tweaks, an "absolute" fullscreen mode when reading e-books, providing a clean experience.

Furthermore, the absolute fullscreen mode's text width can be adjusted under E-book viewer-->Preferences-->General-->Maximum text width in fullscreen

How do we install Calibre 0.8.44?
Type in a terminal

sudo python -c "import sys; py3 = sys.version_info[0] > 2; u = __import__('urllib.request' if py3 else 'urllib', fromlist=1); exec(u.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read()); main()"
