I see. This may work for certain tools today, but what about tomorrow? A tool may only support LRF today, but it could add support for Mobi tomorrow. What I am trying to say is that device-specific organization is very inflexible.

I totally agree with you that we could sort subforums by tool popularity.

PDFRead, Mobi2IMP and calibre are definitely great examples for tools that deserve their own subforum. On the other hand, I wouldn't make "Using perl scripts to produce .IMP ebooks" its own subforum because it's really very specific, not really tool-development related, and could work just as well in a single thread in the catch-all category or in the Fictionwise forum.
