I have to add my recommendation of Calibre--I liked it so much, I donated money to them through their site. Excellent program and seems to handle most ebook formats. I have found that Fedora, Ubuntu, and Arch's versions all seemed to have some limitations that I didn't find when I got the program from Calibre's site. The pre-packaged versions all seemed to have trouble with one format or another, but when I got it directly from the Calibre site, it worked with everything. (I couldn't install it on CentOS, as CentOS' library versions were too old--or maybe python, I don't remember, but regardless, used it with a VM and everything was fine.) -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Xander: All right, where is he? Where's the creep who turned me into a spider-eating man-bitch? Buffy: He's gone. Xander: Dammit. You know what? I'm sick of this. I'm tired of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm through being everybody's butt-monkey! Buffy: Check.
