I like Calibre a lot. It reads all the formats and the interface is well
laid out and intuitive. It features a metadata download button to fill in
missing data and edit it yourself. It also automatically detects readers
attached to your computer for easy transfer and it will automatically
convert the book to the particular readers format. It also has a feature
to download current news from a variety of sources (200+ and you can add
your own) and convert them to an ebook and schedule future downloads from
your sources...it downloads pictures and links and indexes the articles.
Very awesome program.

It's a marvelous, marvelous program. Worth the HDD space just for the
conversion feature. However, I WISH the Dev. would have made the GUI
more standard and intuitive. The learning curve is unnecessarily
steep. It's hard to navigate, making it time consuming.

Hmmm, I find it rather simple and intuitive.
