cheryl, agree. I use it for converting my meds books so i can use them on the ipad at school. Now i am a lazy girl so usually if I am in the car i just place Pad on the dash, and go. and have it split into different emails. It is not advanced, it works, i use all the Ipads native progrrams, and rig

I really love calibre now! I found what I needed to make it work in some books I had trouble with and it is going to revolutionize my ebook reading! I also really like that it seems to work well with voiceover in terminal; enough gets spoken as it converts for you to usually know whether or not

The only problem I see is that while in the menus there is an option to add plugins there doesn't seem to be a way for us to do this, so calibre can't convert some of my files. Being an avid linux user, I have absolutely no problem about using terminal though it would be nicer with braille. --

Hi. What I really like about it is that you can make a file with the commands and copy them into terminal and you are running. Even you can add the command string to textexpander, and it will be easy to get it whenever you need the command. I have read on the internet that it should be possibl

Never mind. I tried the directions that had been posted (like I should have done in the first place) and they work. I didn't have to install anything or open the application. Would be nice if it was accessible from within the application itself but I'm glad it can still be used. -- Cheryl May

Hi. I have got it to work. Is it really true that you can only do 1 file at a time on a mac, I have tried on windows there you can do a folder. Do I need to move my files into calibre, or can I do the cd command to another folder and then do the convertion? Best regards Annie. Den Sep 26, 2012
