Package: calibre
Version: 0.8.64+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

As of the latest kindle software update Amazon sends e-books in KF8
format (foo.azw3 - "Found KF8 MOBI of type 'standalone'"). Calibre can
handle these. They can be imported into the library and converted to
other formats in the main calibre program. However what does not work
is viewing the books. V[iew] on an azw3 format book does not lauch
calibre's ebook-viewer but a external WWW-browser (iceweasel):

----------------------------
Warning: unknown mime-type for 
"/home/ametzler/CalibreBlibliothek/.../somebook.azw3" -- using 
"application/octet-stream"
Error: no "view" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream"
----------------------------

Please note that adding a correct mime.type to /etc/mime.types
(application/x-mobipocket-ebook  prc mobi azw3) does not make a
difference.

Calibre's ebook-viewer is capable of displaying these files if it is
lauched manually (ebook-viewer
"/home/ametzler/CalibreBlibliothek/.../somebook.azw3") it just like
the main calibre program does not know about this yet.
