This is exactly what I thought too.
Once you try calibre, you never go back. Maybe the OP has not attempted to use the software that accompanies his ebook reader of choice, and therefore cannot appreciate calibre.
Personally, I care little for what the program looks like. The buttons are big and obvious, which I appreciate. You don't have to be a programmer to use it. I open it, do whatever I want to do, and close it. I don't leave it open there to admire or stare at, or wish it looked expensive.
