Just a quick message to congratulate Kovid Goyal, author of the excellent Calibre.

Today (or yesterday, depending on your timezone), the Fictionwise store started selling ePub formatted books.

I re-downloaded a few of the "multiformat" books I bought there in the ePub format, and I was thrilled to see that the application that did the conversion was nothing else than the great Calibre !

So, congratulations Kovid, and thanks for Calibre, which not only allows me to manage my library, convert my books to ePub and send them to my PRS505 (all this on Mac OS X), but also allows the eBook market to make big steps toward the future !

Cheers,
David.
