If you intend on using Kindle, calibre is used to convert your *.pdf files or *.lit or some other format that can not be directly read by your Kindle. Then the converted *.prc file can be transferred to your K via USB or email. That is its only connection to Kindle. I have had problems with some conversions looking pretty funky on the Kindle. And the author metadata is not right for the K. Uses first name - last name instead of last name - first name.
Mobi creator does a better job.
Reading both Kindle and mobireader boards. I have seen far better reviews of the Sony Reader than the kindle. I love my Sony kindle and enjoy reading the books anywhere I go. You should also consider what best suits you.
Hope this little information helps.
