For some it will have none for others it is indispensable. It all depends on how you work. The windows version is a reader, a converter, and an eBook manager.
It provides conversion service for eBooks in other formats and RSS feeds. Conversion can be accomplished simply by dragging a PDF for example to the reader.
It helps manage eBooks by providing a unique view that shows the cover and shows a synopsis of the book to click you memory about what the book is about. It can also sync books and download books to your device. For PDA's it can keep your device updated with the latest software by grabbing it from the Internet.
As a reader it can give you a change to read the book on the pc which can be helpful when the synopsis wasn't enough to jog your memory. It is even possible to begin reading on a pc and then pick up where you left off on a PDA when the .mdp file is sync'd across.
In the latest version I believe it can help you manage the eBook stores you frequent.
If you don't need the features then you don't need the product. It is a Windows only program. For a Kindle Amazon seems to have specifically broken the product since the 6.0 version. I think people should complain about that to Amazon.
