Calibre was way slower in converting and it crashed twice even with 23 books or so as it usually does on many ebooks, and if not it takes a loong time and clogs my Pc so i cannot do anything else anyway.

I have converted the same books via Stanza Desktop & Calibre. I find that Calibre does a much better job on the ones I was working with. The TOC was actually usable, not just broken in arbitrary places wherever Stanza Desktop decided to put breaks. Also, if the book had any illustrations/pictures, Stanza Desktop dropped them, while Calibre included them.
My coworker & I both have iPod Touches. She is using Stanza Desktop still. We both have the same book on our Touches, and are using Stanza to read them. I was able to show her the differences between how Stanza Desktop & Calibre converted them.
I figured that the speed issue was because Calibre was actually working harder to maintain the quality.
