For me it's real simple... CONTENT. I don't subscribe to any blogs, but I sure do like getting newspapers, magazines... and oh, that massive ebook collection of stuff that isn't in the public domain.

I'm also not adverse to some work to get something working, and have spent countless hours working with and editing files to work in both mobi and lrf formats. And it is MUCH easier to deal with a Mobi file from an ease of use and reliability because of the Mobi creator program. And since I don't have a surplus of free time, I find this works just fine and now I spend less time converting and more time reading, which is exactly how it should be.

As for Calibre.. yes, it'd be nice to have a tool that can manage mobi files. But developers get to decide what they want to do, and if they don't want to support it, it's up to them.

Yeah, I know .... I was simply hoping. It's not going to happen, I absolutely understand that, but nothing wrong with hoping ... right??
