I am currently using Calibre with my Cool-er. Yes Calibre doesn't recognize the device specifically, but if you right click on a book and select save to disk, select only epub format (though you could use another option if you wanted) and then locate the Cool-er from the drop down list, it shows up as a external USB drive, named Cool-er (at least it does on Windows Vista). Then I save it to the My Docs folder. You can even select multiple books and save them to the device that way.

@Lynt666 I would probably wait to get a Cool-er until after the next software gen comes out for it. The device is great don't get me wrong, but it is still hiccuping (ie I had to send mine back cause it totally crashed, they did send me a new one though :-)

Transfer time on books seems resonably quick, though I have not tried sending over more than 50 books or so. I imagine a large collection would indeed take a bit.
