Hi --
Well, I just used Calibre to convert about 300 of my mobi files to epub without a hitch. Obviously, this is in preparation for my iPad tomorrow! Question: Is there any quick way to move books now to iTunes so they can by synced to the iPad? Right now I have to manually go to my ebooks library, open the folder(s) that the ebook I want is in and copy and then paste it into iTunes. I am wondering if I can use any of Calibre's features to do that easier? Or, failing that, do you think you could design a "transfer to device" for the iPad which would actually transfer the ebooks to iTunes for sync later as you can't go direct to the iPad as you can to a Kindle. Please let me know and maybe I'll hold off on moving the bulk of these if there's a transfer option on the way. Thanks!
