First impression, it looks pretty good. I don't know that I actually want to read on my Macbook, but the conversions interest me greatly. I've been running Mobicreator under Fusion, and that gets old, quickly.

So far, and I haven't really stressed it, it seems to have converted everything I threw at it.

On to trying the iPhone bookmarklets...

ETA - spoke too soon, I guess. Although it happily converts everything I throw at it, I can't seem to do anything with the output files (Kindle and Mobipocket Reader both give up) So close, yet so far.
Hunh? I started about 20 minutes ago and I'm up to 45% complete. Of course, I've had faster downloads from Russia - I'm in California.

Can't wait to try it out.
