Hi All,

As you may guess, my name is Ron and I am living (retired) in Bali. I have been reading e-books regularly for a year now using my lightweight laptop with 8 hours of battery life.

As my e-library started growing I was looking to get it organised, then found Calibre - which is great, and it is the support Forum that brought me to MR - but now I can see that there is plenty more here.

I like picking up free e-books where I can, and PDF is the most common format I get, but often they are more easily read if re-flowed to a narrower format. Bur problems crop up - particularly where the PDF has ligatures for ff ll fi etc. They can get messed up on conversion to EPUB.

So I will be lurking on the forum looking for useful hints.

Cheers,
Ron
