   Great program but I have a gripe. It has too many incremental updates. I hate when software does this. I would much rather they include them in monthly updates.
   
   UI could use some prettying up too

   Calibre is the GOD of all book organizing apps ever written.
   It is the GOLD STANDARD against all other apps written are compared against.

   To the author:
   
   You are a Godsend.
   
   I thank you and my iPad thanks you (as do my wife's and my son's).
   
   As to DRM, p*** on it. Books have been lent around since time immemorial and damn the publishing industry for thinking that should change.
   
   FIVE stars.

   Thank you once again for your ongoing development and continuous improvement of Calibre. I have a large library of commercial ebooks, w/drm and free, magazines, pdf, etc. and Calibre keeps everything organized and humming with my Kindle.

   Reviewing 0.8.9 (Jul 9, 2011)

   Apologies to the author but this application is crippled for me. I use my eReader to store and read commercial eBooks and have built up quite a library in it. 95% of these books, being commercial eBooks are protected by DRM. That means I can not use the reading functions of this application with them. While I rarely actually do that, the reading portion of this application is 33% of its function - which I can't use.
   
   I appreciate the open-source and free nature of this application. I also understand the legalities involved with DRM and opensource applications. But the fact remains that as my library consists of purchased eBooks, I can only use the program's device access and organizational facilities. I cannot use the conversion or reading capabilities. I did not tyry the metadata updating simply because I am afraid of damaging my eBooks, but I suspect they will not work either.
   
   Thanks for the effort, It is a cool concept and execution looks good, but for me it only gets a 3.
