I mostly use Calibre's command-line tools. I installed 0.6b2 and suddenly I couldn't run html2oeb anymore; it gave me an error loading a library. So did mobi2oeb. I was wondering what the deal was. Thankfully, our illustrious kovidgoyal pointed out that html2oeb and mobi2oeb don't exist in 0.6; you're supposed to use ebook-convert to do conversions. But since I had installed 0.6b2 in the same directory I had installed 0.5.14 in (the default directory -- C:\Program Files\calibre) the html2oeb.exe and mobi2oeb.exe and other executables from 0.5.14 were still there, causing me to think they still existed in 0.6b2. So anybody who uses the command-line tools, be aware that it's probably a good idea to install it into a separate directory so you won't be inadvertently trying to use old utilities.
