calibre

very good project, thanks!

Freakin' Awesome!! @kacknoob - I'm running Win7 on a 10 year old box with a 1gig proc, 512mb pc100 sdram and 8mb integrated vid and Calibre runs just fine.. Me thinks that, either, your box is bad or you're doing something that no other does for setup / config of Windows. Install was idiot-proof and simple, it runs from start menu without a prob and conversion of pdf file worked flawlessly (just took a while as the box is OLD).

A really good ebook collection manager/convertor, if you want to manage a large collection of ebooks or convert between formats then this is the one. I prefer a two page layout for reading, like the one you get in mobi reader, the book viewer in Calibre is customisable with css style sheets but it is a bit too techie and awkward to find what you want, a set number of styles to choose from would be good but that feature is missing. Much of the file and metadata management in this program would be brilliant if applied to a music program, if he ever published an mp3.ogg.flac. etc music management tool like this, I would definitely be interested, so would millions of others, it would knock Itunes for six. Very good, but could be even better with some attention paid to the viewer, I use this to organise and MOBI READER to actually read the books, it's a shame that the built in viewer in Calibre is not as good.
