You pretty much hit all the reasons, Neil.
I first came when I was putting several of my o.p. backlist books into e-format for free distribution, in preparation for a new title coming out. At first I just poked around, wondering what the place was all about. Almost instantly, people started offering to help me. It was amazing. Much of the credit for the nice formatting of my free titles goes to folks here. Then, after the first blitz of getting the books ready was over, and the initial bit of introducing myself to the audience, MR became a community to visit every day, just to be part of the community.
Learning about Calibre, Freda, and all that came later.
