Dave_Sm, ascherjim: Yes, I agree that that would be the best way to go, but I have a couple of quid pro quo's about it.... Namely that I am using windows 7, and that I have found and religiously use calibre. While I would be able to use calibre under a virtual pc environment, I know, it would still kind of be a pain. Have to decide if I really want to do that or not..... But I will probably make the jump sooner rather than later.
Thanks for the advice! (and yeah, I read the threads where you guys talked about it

)
