immediately zapped the program but given its acclaim i thought i'd ask some questions.

does the news feature not work so well on the mac?
or is just the wall street journal a bad idea?

so far, calibre wins for app that drove my mac to the highest temperature ever witnessed on my imac.
I don't believe the MAC is under cooled. 165 (MAC's work in F?) is it just getting warmed up


MY PC is set to start throttling at 85C and shut down at 95C.

Run a BOINC project if you like to hear CPU fans SCREAM. All cores: 100%: all the time

Conversion is a CPU hog.
But it is doing a lot of work, beating those bytes into shape for your reader.
