That way you would only have one place to send people.
And you would have the Wiki advantage of being able to let the community evolve the documentation in a hierarchical and hyperlinked structure. The can quickly be added to as new "solutions" to common problems are written.

We actually have that advantage already. You can send Kovid additions to the manual and he'll include them. The downside here is that everything goes through him, but as long as he doesn't complain about it, I vote we keep the system.

Well, as one of the persons who answered your thread, let me sketch my initial impressions: You said you had installed it, and, after doing what sounded to me like aimless clicking, got an explorer window with the folder of a book opened, which you then couldn't open. (That is no surprise, by the way, if you haven't registered an application for ePub.) There wasn't much more detail available. So I assumed you hadn't bothered to read any documentation and thus had, somehow, misunderstood how Calibre is supposed to work. So, instead of rewriting the introductory guides available, I chose to link to those available online.
I would have reacted entirely different, by the way, if I had, for example, known what you mentioned in this thread: That the dropdown menus are giving you errors (I just gave this thread a quick once-over, but I seem to remember you saying that).
