I have great respect for Kovid and find Calbire an essential tool. But I would strongly disagree for the ePUB side. The ePUB calibre produces are terrible, they're bloated, terribly slow, and often cause the reader to crash.

I always thought this was an issue with ePUB so I steered clear of ePUB. But after downloading some very large ePUB from Google and Feedbooks I realize it was calibre all along.

Now the LIT, MOBI, LRF files that calibre produces are excellent.
