It looks like I'll have to brush off my Perl skills and learn Python to fully understand some of the tools available... Calibre looks interesting, but I'll have to get over my completely unjustified aversion to Python.
You don't have to actually like a language to use it. The python conversion codes out there work fairly well with little intervention. It's you programmer types who like to get in there and tinker with the code that creates a tilt in the Universe's feeling of well being. For full disclosure, both my husband and I were programmers at one point (I started out in Fortran, Cobol and PL1 and moved onto C without all of the +'s ) and my son is currently studying software engineering. As it turns out, I am well pleased with my decision to give up programming computers and start "programming" ie., teaching young children. Computers are just too frustrating! Good luck with python.
