Linux version of Calibre

I just downloaded the Linux version of Calibre on my netbook which runs Meego - installs like a piece of cake and seems to run much better than on my Mac. Quite glad I did that now - think I'll do all my coversions in Linux now.

Barnacle Boy! We have to find those stolen Naggy Daddies!

Welcome to the Linux club Hello

I've run calibre on Linux and Windows before and found it to be a much more pleasant experience in Linux Clapping hands

In what way is it "more pleasant"?

Maybe try a newer version - it's speedy and bug free on Windows for me Smile

I'm not trying to argue Windows vs Linux by the way. I have a dual (well actually triple) boot Windows/Linux system, and I wondered if I was missing anything...
