Anyone use Caliber to convert files? Or, do you use another file converter? If so which one do you like?

Nice, someone of my caliber lol. Maybe I should have also asked if there is another free software that they like better. I have a surprisingly small library still so I haven't really appreciated the library organizer features, but I assume they are very useful. Thank you

I use Calibre for everything with my ebooks. I use it to convert files, store, and manage my entire library. It works much better than other libraries and organizers I've tried, and I've never had an issue with the converter.

I use Calibre, and I've donated to the creator. As an author, it's an indispensable tool for creating ebooks.

Calibre is one of the most used programs on my computer. I'd be lost without it.

I see that you just joined today so I want to say welcome!
Where did you first learn of Caliber? I found out about it by reading the KDP users forum.

I've always used Calibre, it's brilliant. Although it does suffer from problems in regards to showing book covers on your kindle paperwhite.
