Yes, I use it.

Once in a while to transform PDF's to MOBI..sometimes it looses some letters and the encrytption isnt' that good..
BUT it's the best there is.
So, I'm not complaining

I use Calibre. It's easy to use and it's good. It converts to the formats I want without hassle, doesn't take long and I've never had any issues with it.

I used Caliber to convert files, but prefer to do it online as the process is much simpler

Used Caliber a few times but found it slightly daunting. Much easier for me to use online converters.

I use it when I have to. Normally though I am sent mobi files now for my kindle so life is easier. I do love it though as you can do one at a time or multiples.

I like calibre and use it if I set up my desktop but it's too heavy for my relatively underpowered laptop so I use the 2epub conversion website instead usually - it will convert to other things, not just epub. Usually I'm offering it pdf or epub and getting mobi.

I use Caliber to convert books, I love this program and would be totally lost without. It is also great for getting free books, you can get a taster od new books and sometimes a free book that is out of copyright. Great for seeing if a book is for you

I tried another freebie converter program ( I can't remember the name.....must have blocked it out) for a few months before I was introduced to Calibre. I am now hooked, and a total junkie. I even set it up on my mom's computer so she has an easy way to manager her kindle library.

I absolutely love Caliber! It has been my go-to software for managing my eBooks. I love how easy it is to organize my books and keep a series together and in order. I'm okay with technology (not great but not totally inept) and I found it to be fairly user friendly. After using it for several months I recommended it to my mother.

Hello! just recommended it in few previous posts. I like it as it`s convenient enough and had simple user-friendly interface.
