Why did nobody ever tell me that Cailbre was so damn easy? I've been avoiding it for months, and now I love it!

Yay! I wouldn't have had a clue how to convert files or sort everything out, I'm clueless:D

Um, enjoy your latest love toy? *too stunned to come up w/ more*

Are you a mapper or tinkerer? Just in case you'd like to read up on things prior to experimenting, below are a couple of FYI links which I rounded up for a friend a few weeks ago. Of course, after the honeymoon. Cheers, Lisa. :)Fairly recent blog post re: calibre in general: http://blog.calibre-ebook.com/

a) I will have no idea what it can actually do until someone else tells me (thankyou!). and
b) If there's a convoluted, difficult way of doing things, that'll be the one I instinctively choose first.
*chuckle* Och, that's mostly Murphy's Law kickin' in ;-)Actually, by 'tinkerer', I meant that some people prefer/want to play around and figure things out on their own. Of course, these are usually the more intuitive people who can 'get' certain tech stuff. Which is definitely *not* me, hence the links (which I found after I did my own puttering about = total wipe of initial install and re-start from scratch >.<)
calibre introduced so many more functions since I first installed back in early 2011. So prolly even better to have a general sense of what you can do b4 you spend time customising? Either way, have fun. :D

Okay, not a tinkerer...more of a blunderer!
Thanks for the links, I'll check them out :)
