Probably want to set up your preferences first, though, but the conversion is easy-peasy. |

So for you, that may be 'easy', but for most of us, 'click on that button' is much 'easier'. |

Sounds like its time for a wiki entry on batch conversion using calibre without the ui! Perhaps this weekend?
Honestly I had no idea you could batch convert using calibre-convert without adding them all by hand. I will definitely be trying it out. |

Thank you for the help it sounds pretty easy to convert.
I have a question to whomever has their hands on one. The "flipper bar" is it as flimsy as it looks? It looks like something that could very easily be broken. Another question is is there a dictionary? It's not a major thing for me but it would be nice. |

It's really just a tradeoff: the portability of the 6" reader that I can slip in my hip pocket versus the width of a reader where the lines of text aren't oddly shortened just so they fit on the narrow display. I just happen to prefer the latter. The text on this wider display looks more like what I've been reading in pbooks for most of my life and so I think it would be more comfortable for me to read. Reading on a 6" reader feels a bit too much like reading on a cellphone display and is a bit bothersome. Now, if I could have both worlds (a small device that had the wider display - perhaps by folding or rolling it up) I might be really interested in that.

Patience, grasshopper, give it a few years. I'm sure rollable displays will be here fairly soon. What would be very cool, and what I wouldn't be at all surprised to see in the next 20 years or so would be a substrate for the display that could actually be stretched. When you're done reading, press the sides inward and the device actually becomes smaller without the need to roll it or fold it. Fits in your pocket that way. Want to read? Just pull the sides away from each other, and it stretches out to a larger size for easier reading.
