NOW I see why Calibre is so great
Prior to getting the upgrade for my PRS-500, I didn't really see what was so great about Calibre vs the Sony software. I'd been using it to do some transmogrification of different book formats and to write books to my memory card, but that's about all I was using it for.

But, now that my Win 7 64 bit OS recognizes my reader and I can use Calibre to it's fullest extent, I can see why it's such a great piece of software.

Great job Kovid!

Without Calibre I would still be stuck with .mobi. Have bought 5 books in .epub, and have managed to convert them all in one go.

It's opened a whole new area for me.

Many thanks.

Cheers
