It converts from different e-book formats to other formats, not just a
reader.

Or being convinced that they are stupid. :(


Their lack of belief in the existence of Evil, is a result and
proof of their stupidity.



That, and the popularity of 'I'm with stupid' shirts.




The left is NOT stupid...they are directed Evil.

"Glee" had the girl's arrow pointing up and the boy's pointing down.



I don't watch that show. There was something similar on the Drew
Carey Show, years ago. His redneck neighbor 'Peaches' is fired from a
custom tee shirt business for printing them with the arrow pointing up.
Drew tells her, "It's supposed to point to the side." She replied,
"That could be funny too."

Id STRONGLY recommend downloading Calibre before you open that disk
drive.

And its not 355 MB its only about 50 or so.

Hmm, maybe I will.

Doublechecking...yeah, 59.3MB. OK, giving it a whirl.

I think it was Cnet who had the gigantic package, but I took one look
and cancelled it.

Are you sure? I recently downloaded Calibre (for Linux) and
downloading and installing took 3 minutes (233 kbs) and after reading
your above I downloaded a version for windows - 62.2 MB (62214144
bytes).

Caliber isn't touted as a simple e-book reader, it is primarily a
library manager and a e-book converter from one format to another.
