Calibre: A Good, Free Open Source eBook App

CNet has an interesting item up today on Calibre, ?a cross-platform open source library for eBooks. Windows, Linux and Mac OS X users can take advantage of library management, format conversion, news feeds to ebook conversion, and ebook reader sync features, plus an integrated ebook viewer. It supports conversion from HTML, TXT, RTF, PDF and websites to LRF, the Sony Reader native format. I agree with CNet about how some aspects of its interface could be improved, but there is also a lot to like in Calibre.
