I have used Calibre before. It's biggest strength is being able to
manage the Sony eReader as well as scheduled downloads of RSS feeds, and
convert to usable formats. It's a nice manager but I wouldn't use it as
a reader for any long period of time because of eye strain. But then I
am 41 and my eyes aren't what they used to be. ;-)
