I just found this free software yesterday for my ebooks, so I havent figured out everything I can do with quite yet, but its looking pretty good!
For those who dont know this software, its "itunes" for ebooks. You add your ebooks to your library and it retrieves all the online info for you, including book covers and pretty much everything you can think of. Whats really cool is that you can decide if you want that info or not, and manually add/delete/rename to your preference. If youre big into ebooks, you know what a nightmare it can turn into trying to organize thousands of books can be, and this seems really helpful so far, so I thought I'd see if any of the "cool kids" here can throw me some tips and tricks--LOL! It will also convert any format into any other format out there, so if you prefer .mobi/.prc and you can only get the book in .lit, you can convert it in a few seconds. It will sync with your device if you want it to, or you can just save your books to the hard drive, or even to a sandisk. It will also fetch the daily news from the papers you pick and convert into an ebook for your device if you like.
Now if I could only figure out how to make it do the dishes for me, life would be complete, LOL!

So anyone have any tips or tricks? Oh, heres the link if anyone wants to check it out-
