I've used Calibre for a very long time now and when my kids finally got Kindles they started using it as well.

I couldn't care less what pointless debates others may have with Kovid. He is very helpful, very active in the forms, and constantly updates this software.

many opensource projects become abandonware, but Kovid continues to pour hours and hours into this.

Cross platform usage alone is impressive. it works the same on my Mac/Linux machines as it does on the kids Windows machines.

Maybe he has been "rude" at times, but who hasn't? let's not let a few instances of him losing his patience cast a shadow over the incredible work he has done for many people.
