Essential Tools for Jetbooks (JB & JBL)

I am thinking that a listing of the software tools that come in handy when
working with these devices might be a good idea. Here are some of the
ones I find useful, maybe others can add ones that they like to the thread.

1. Calibre, of course. (Or other good ebook format converter.)
2. SyncToy, free from Microsoft. Lets you sync a folder on your PC with
your SD card(s).
3. Oscar's Renamer, free from Mediachance. See the link:
http://www.mediachance.com/free/renamer.htm
It makes it easy to find and replace "()[]" or other bad characters in the
file names of eBooks.
4. A set of DRM disinfecting tools.
5. Gimp2 or another good image editor, for scaling images and converting to
B&W Grayscale better suited to the Jetbook. (Gimp2 is free)
6. A collection of the various eBook reading programs for the sites that you
download books from.
7. "A good archive decompresser like 7Zip can extract the content of several
ebook formats to the basic files (epub -> html). [steven522]" I use WinRAR.

Any others?

Luck;
Ken
