I installed the latest version of Calibre after reading all of the great reviews, and I've had nothing but trouble. It runs slow. Painfully, insufferably and uselessly slow. In fact, I can't do much past loading the main screen before it completely locks up my system. Well after ~5 hours, 2 re-installations (same and older, 'more stable' version...0.7.17), 5 forced restarts, 1 windows failing to start (never seen before)...I give up. I've tried pretty much everything to try to get this working. (includes disabling firewalls & antivirus, and every other 'fix' there has been to this problem) I'm running windows 7 on a computer more than capable of handling whatever program I throw at it - except this one apparently. Every time a user (like myself) reports this problem, the developer swiftly dismisses it as a user-end problem...so if this happens to you, instead of spending hours of messing around just uninstall and move on.

Easy to use software. Converts almost any formats. Reads many formats. Creates multiple libraries. Easy to add books. My only complaint would be the minor update prompting. However you can generally just ignore that until a more major one comes along. I ignore something like the complained about .30 and .29 and only pay attention when it goes from 0.7.xx to 0.8.xx. or if there is something major in the changes like the newest Kindle format. The current edition is 8.52. I'm running 8.51. I'm not bothering until it changes something that fixes something that annoys me or adds functionality or we hit 9.00. Worrying about extremely minor updates that change nothing for you personally is a tad obsessive compulsive.
