Managing an e-reader

In using my new e-reader, I kept bumping into Amazon, so I''ve been looking for a way to do without them. I think I've found it. It's a freeware program called calibre. It's a nice looking program, and everyhing you need is right on the surface. I haven't used it long, but it was definitely love at first sight. Calibre makes it easy to do everything you hoped your e-reader would do.

Since I get a lot of free e-books, with calibre I can convert Kindle only books to Nook readable books.
also, live the calibre e-reader, makes PC reading enjoyable.
