It's a free download, and the creator of the software, Kovid Goyal, is a MobileRead member who is very approachable and more than willing to answer questions about calibre.

I honestly cannot believe what you have turned me on to. And for God's sake, there's even a forum! You have no idea how happy this makes me. So, how does it feel to change someone's life for the better? And what's so funny is that you provided this info as if you were merely talking about the weather, like it's no big deal.
OK, I'll stop gushing.
In only a few short hours of entering my post in the forum I have received 2 major applications that are just mind boggling when it comes to the world of ebooks.
Somehow I've got to document what's happening here and write about it in my blogs. Hell, I might even write an eBook, ha! How I was led to MobileRead, and how MobileRead responded to my needs.
I don't understand how the creator of Calibre can give it away for free. He does ask for donations and I'm going to work something out.
I think this is critical to the entire eBook game, is that just about anything you want to do, there is a free application that will help you do it.
Meanwhile designers, services, etc., are charging 100s if not 1000s to do what Calibre and so many other applications do. There's nothing secretive about it. It's not underhanded. It's just unbelievable, that's all.
Thank you so much.
