i am quite used to having to convert all sorts of media files for use here or there. i would like to mention that most of my personal computers have linux installed ubuntu 10.04 i like calibre and totally love open source. i use windows on some computers from my family and will use my desktop for conversions since i have a pretty old netbook which has no processing power and my desktop is only a p4 but it works. most of my books are pdf's i think i get them for free. i want to know which way to convert them and what is the best reader for me as i also read comic books here and there. i do not mind spending the time using any free software to convert the books, they are in all sorts of formats but the majority is pdf. please let me know if you need any other information to help me make my decision on what to buy. also i am sort of on a limited budget probably no more than 250 us dollars.
