Thanks for your always quick and helpful answers, Kovid.

I already installed the BookIt extension. I like the idea of being able to just "browse & click" for new stuff that I then can comfortably read on an eReader.

I even started considering a Sony Reader, mostly because of your work on calibre and the broad support for this device that seems to be out there - but one big disadvantage held me back: support for Chinese fonts. It is possible, but very cumbersome.

So I will stick to my decision to buy a Hanlin for once. Still, it seems like I need to figure out how to work with LRF files, because that seems to be the most available format, at least Mac-software-wise. I think BookIt has an "add to calibre" feature so that I could work from there. Calibre would have to be the pivotal point for conversion.

Hoping for the best,

Cheers
