I did use MobiPocket as it came with the Bookeen. At the risk of labouring a point, the edge that Calibre has is the support for multiple devices, news streams and it's ability to convert to your active devices' formats. I'm going to add to this post to cover the "Kindle years". If it's OK with you I'll post links back when I do?

I like mobipocket but I've found that it and other ebook sites (ie non Amazon) often have geographical rights restrictions so if you're not in the USA, you can't buy/ download the book, which can be frustrating.
