I don't think we should look at hard figures to decide whether a tool requires its own forum section. It's easy to look at the past posts to see which software receives constant attention in both regards, user support and development.

Perhaps your suggestion is the best... start with the most obvious software tools and then add new sections as demand seems fit.

Yeah, moving the threads to the appropriate forum sections is what we would do. We would also decide on the thread prefixes for the catch-all section; the prefixes will contain the names of the more popular tools.

I think having a parent E-Book Tools forum and specific tool subforums works best here.

We do not want to add any restrictions in regard to device type or file format because it would add inflexibility (tools change, devices change, and so would the categories).
