I know about Calibre. I've been using it to convert FB2 files for my mom's Nook. Now that she has an Iriver Story HD life is so much more convenient. I just drag the file to the device and I'm done. Finding books and magazines on the reader is also ten times easier with folders than it is with a flat list (don't even get me started about Shelves/Collections).

So why am I interested in the new Kindle models? Because I might buy an eReader for myself. However, now that I have a benchmark for convenient (Story HD) and inconvenient (Nook) I know what to look for as a starting point. If the new Kindle models fail this benchmark then I'm not even going to look at their other attributes (which may be better than the Story HD - a great device, but by no means a perfect one).
