I think I must be one of the people being criticised here. The thing is I am not trying to be dumb. I am fairly computer literate but I have not been able to open the user manual on my downloaded version of Calibre 0.4.72 which I downloaded yesterday, as new Kindle user.
The Quick Start guide on the Calibre version I downloaded simply does not open - not on Windows XP Pro on my machine at least. I just get an unknown file format error message, regardless of whether I click on the image or the title etc. But still people here tell me to read the User Guide. You know I would if I could.
Similarly I do know how to open a function on a toolbar (I use InDesign for ..... sake). But on my Calibre toolbar the down arrows on the toolbar options also generate error messages. Yet when I come here for advice I am told I do not understand how to use it.
The feeling I am getting is that some of you think its use should be reserved for programming types only and anyone who does not understand how it works/cannot debug it, and is not a long term user, is a nuisance who is clogging up the space in the big boys' playpen.
This is a shame - if it is such a great piece of software and you can't make it a bit simpler to use, can't you at least show some sympathy to those of us struggling with its idiosyncracies.
