Well, from a Coomand Line.
In Linux you start Console, Terminal, kterm, or you just press Ctrl+Alt+F1 ... F10 to access Command Line interface (as oposed to Graphical User Interface)

In Windows, you go to Start menu, you press Run and you issue command 'cmd' that will start command window where you can type DOS commands or commands for converting books.

On Mac, you use terminal

Just install everything when in doubt.
Who knows, perhaps next week you discover a new piece of software that will want to use Calibre Commandline tools to enhance functionality.


By the way ...
pdf files. Those are usually not well suited for reading on e-ink devices. I personally like to run pdf through an OCR program and convert it to rtf or other format that can be displayed/converted well.
