  • Can't Convert Files Using a PC with a UHD Monitor

    ZoooDawg

    Pros
    Switched to an older computer and was able to use the software.

    Cons
    Doesn't work with a UHD monitor. I have a high-end PC with Windows 10 and a UHD monitor and could not convert a file. The button that starts the conversion process is out of view and there is no way to scroll down to it.

    Summary
    Software needs to be revised to use a modern monitor.
  • Locked my system up completely!

    Jim Harmon

    Pros
    It installs quickly

    Cons
    It doesn't do anything.

    Summary
    I have a Win 8.1 i7 system with 12 GB RAM. When I installed the program and clicked "Finish" (with the "Run Calibre" option checked), my system locked up so badly I had to power it down. After it rebooted, I clicked on the desktop icon. Once again, the system locked up and had to be powered down.
  • Fantastic library management app.

    Gizmologistic

    Pros
    Converts pretty much anything to anything and does it quickly. Is compatible with almost every popular reader on the market. Frequent updates and improvements

    Cons
    Probably does more than you need but seriously is that REALLY a con?

    Summary
    This app is SO useful and it SHOULD get donations as it doesn't rely on adware to generate bucks for it's developer.
  • Solved my problem.Maybe it can solve yours; recommended

    cristian bonilla

    Pros
    It has may features and it is a solution to many problems in one program.

    Cons
    None I know of.

    Summary
  • Freezes my PC, forcing a hard shutdown

    rawslaw

    Pros
    none none none

    Cons
    All versions I've tried freeze my PC, forcing a hard shut down.

    Summary
  • Good idea, but real problems in implementation

    BillSamuel

    Pros
    It allows conversion of e-books from one format to another.It's free.

    Cons
    It does a very poor job of converting in many cases. For example, converting from epub format to mobi format to use on Kindle produces a document with the content but it doesn't preserve the formatting so it is not much like the original except in content.

    Summary
    Needs real improvement. TIP: if you want to convert an e-book for use on Kindle, convert it to PDF as this works well, rather than to mobi since the conversion there is very poor.
  • Program deletes files without warning

    NCSympa

    Pros
    Organizes documents

    Cons
    Cumbersome way to organize files putting each one in separate folder. The most serious problem is that the program may automatically delete your document without warning. Later when you try to access the document, you discover it no longer exists. I have had this program delete documents multiple times. It does not give you the option of a warning but just does it. This is a very significant problem and users need to be aware of it.
