You know that feeling you get where you've just finished reading a book and you're desperate to know what happens to the characters next? Whether they will find true love? Discover the meaning of friendship? Overcome unimaginable odds to defeat the invading alien armada? Find how to travel in time to return to their home period with proof that people really did have a thing for shell suits? This book answers none of these questions and fewer.

So if you want a rip-roaring edge of your seat adventure through classical culture, with all the trappings of an epic romance Shakespeare would be jealous of, comedic elements Dante would steal, questions of existence Shelley would plagiarise, and astounding worlds that would put Iain M Banks to shame, then look even further than this book.

If however you're after some info on this piece of software you've downloaded and how to use it to get some "acquired" books onto your e-reader, or even want to use the viewer to read books on your PC, then give this a go. Then read some proper stuff. It's what your reader is there for, after all.

No matter how experienced you are, this is a very useful booklet.
Of course it is advisable to read it during setup and first upload of your e-books, connection of your preferrd e-reader, then it will certainly the most usefull.
But it also covers format conversion, news reads, searching your library (also by tags).
And ultimately it gives you the links for more specialized info and help (even from the creator of calibre itself).

A very useful wee ebook that tells you how to use the calibre ebook library programme, and how to convert ebook formats from one to another.
