A teacher once told me "there are no stupid questions, only stupid people." So fearing I may fall into the "stupid people" category, here's a quick question:
Can Calibre now convert
from LRF to other formats (e.g. Mobi, etc.)?
If it can, I don't seem to be able to figure it out. If it can't, why not? I know Calibre started as primarily a Sony reader tool to allow other ebooks to be put into Sony format and loaded on the device, but clearly it has expanded way beyond those functions.
Not that I'm complaining - clearly a great tool, with great support and good ongoing development. Congrats on v0.5!
