[This refers to v.2.50.1]
1. No way to take notes and write annotations in Calibre, so – for my purpose – the ebooks must be converted. 2. After conversion, text in PDFs can neither be searched nor copied. The created PDFs are therefore utterly useless, until they themselves are converted again, this time with an OCR software. I have used OCRKit for this purpose. The whole process is a real pain in the butt. 3. Until now I have also converted the ebooks to Rich Text Files and read and annotated them in Nisus Writer Pro. 4. I have now decided to dump Calibre due to the above mentioned drawbacks. Clearview does an excellent job in converting ebooks to PDFs. The text is searchable and can be copied right away. 5. Clearview has a process bar, so you always see how long a conversion is going to take. In Calibre there is only a rotating wheel, and you never know when it's going to end. 6. I have been unable to find the developer's email address in order to send enhancement requests. The so-called "calibre bug tracker" takes me to a Ubuntu site. I don't have Ubuntu, so I gave up.
