Users can change the calibre icons easily and convert all ebook formats to Microsoft Word (DOCX) files.
- Icon themes: Change the calibre icons easily via icon themes – You can now change the icons calibre uses easily via Preferences->Look & Feel->Change icon theme. Several icon themes are already available for calibre.
- Conversion of all ebook formats to Microsoft Word (DOCX) files – Supports conversion of text styles, images, lists, tables, embedded fonts, etc. Produces DOCX files compatible with Microsoft Word 2007 or newer.

New Features in Calibre 2.42
- Driver for the new NookGlowlight Plus. This device only allows sending of files inside the NOOK folder, so calibre now follows that limitation.
- When converting AZW4 files to PDF, skip the conversion and simply unwrap the PDF file already embedded inside the AZW4 file.
- Metadata download review dialog: Add an option to mark rejected books in the main book list after the review is completed.
- Edit Book: Spell check dialog: Add a button to undo the last spelling change
Bug Fixes
- Edit metadata dialog: When downloading metadata with download of authors turned off, do not regenerate the author sort field after the download.
- Fix a regression that broke the heuristic used to detect cover images in some EPUB files that do not specify their cover metadata.
- Edit Book File List: Fix pre-selection of filename when renaming a file in the root
- Tag mapper: Fix bug when replacement tag has comma in it and the replacement rule is not the last rule
