I find Calibre to be extraordinarily frustrating because it is absolutely counter-intuitive to standard pc type utility operations. Case in point, I cannot get anything to convert from Epub to Mobi so I can read it on my kindle. I queue up job after job and everything I read says it ran fine but there isn't a single file produced (that I can find) so I keep trying different ways of finding files, marking them for conversion and attempting to convert them -- all to no avail. Is there any REALLY GOOD utility that does this besides the claim that calibre does it (when it doesn't actually seem to)? I just want to read my damn books without days and days of trying things that don't work.
