I noticed the efficiency of this setup.

I converted my entire library (about 1200 books) from ePub to Mobi for what ended up being a useless reason. I selected all of the books and clicked convert. It seemed to be running 3 or 4 book conversions at a time. On my dual core Windows XP laptop I was converting around 150 books an hour.

Very nicely done.
