I really waited for Version 6 and I like some of the new features (detecting two cards at the Sony Reader etc.). But for now after trying Version 6 I have to say I went back to 5.14., which is much more comfortable for me.
The rasons:
1) As some of the other users too I've problems with the font sizes in Version 6. For me it has become much more complicated than before to get an epub in a font size I like. However, somehow I think I would find a solution if I had the time to try various possibilities (but for the moment I don't have the time to do so).
2) more importantly: If I convert an ebook (epub to epub) to add a cover and make the fonts a little bit bigger with Version 6 the page-numbers of the ebook change. I can't use this, as I need a version of the books where the page-numbers stay the same as in the printed version (important for quotations etc.). Up to Version 5.14 this worked perfectly for epubs, now it doesn't work like this anymore.
3) If I do so (converting epub to epub, changing the font-size and adding a cover) the former cover-page of the ebook now is always removed by Calibre 6 automatically, although I made sure NOT to check this box in my settings. I can try whatever I want, the former cover-page now is always removed and changed into a plain page, which I absolutely don't like.
Maybe those things will be fixed in future. So far I go back to Version 5.14, which works much better for me.
By the way: When I went back to Version 5.14 after having tried Version 6 I had no possibility anymore to connect Calibre to my Calibre-library-files and I had to remove them from the folder to get Calibre 5.14 to work again). In my case that's not that bad as fortunately I only use Calibre to convert books, change the font-sizes, add covers etc. and not to organise my ebooks. But for Users who need the Calibre library function: be careful with trying out Version 6 and then possibly going back to 5.X!
However, thank you for this program and its' possibilities!
