I think Calibre, obviously the iTunes of the ebook world, is a jewel just sitting out there under the noses of Amazon and Kobo. I know that Kobo has desktop software already, but what an incredible halo effect could be experienced if they purchased Calibre and kept Goyal on as its head of development. Searches in "Get books" could load the Kobo store first, but you could use Kobo's software then to manage all your ebooks and eReaders.

And what a great buy-line: "Already have a Kindle? Converting your eBooks over to your new Kobo is as simple as a click with Calibre by Kobo."

I think its a no-brainer. Any thoughts?
Maybe next time you have a crazy thought it might be better not to post and frighten the life out of others .....
