Thanks for the quick reply, kovidgoyal!

I downloaded Calibre and did some tests. (It was kind of hard to find via a google search, even though I knew what I was searching for.)

It definitely is a nice peace of software and I am glad that there are people creating tools like this, even making them available for free on the web!


If I may, I would like to do a quick summary of my findings:

- Nice layout and design, even though the buttons are a bit large and window size was kind of a problem. I maximized it and was then unable to make it small again, because the "resize triangle" was out of reach, somewhere outside the desktop area.

- RSS fetching workes fine, but can take up to 2 minutes. That's not a huge problem, Mobipocket was much faster though and it even included images.

- Calibre only supports LRS format, sadly making it quite useless for people owning anything other than a Sony Reader.


I like it, but since I don't plan on buying a Sony device (just placed an order for a BeBook / Hanlin V3) or want to have to do a conversion of every file that Calibre creates, I'm afraid I need to keep looking for alternatives. At least until Calibre will support other formats or allows exporting / printing files to pdf for example.


Are there more alternatives??
