Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
While e-books are steadily gaining in popularity with the reading public, an overabundance of devices and formats keeps the lid on. The market will probably sort out the competition the way it always does, but until then, your options are to limit your reading to titles available for your reader, or convert e-books into a format your reader supports. That's where Hamster Free Book Converter enters the story. This simple, free tool lets you drag and drop or add e-book titles in a wide range of formats and either choose your device or file type to automatically convert them into compatible e-books.
Hamster Free Book Converter has a simple but attractive interface and layout. You add titles by browsing or dragging and dropping them directly into the main window; we tried both. After adding titles, we clicked Next, and Book Converter displayed icons for Devices and Formats and platforms. We merely had to click the correct icon for our device (23 as of our test) or format (12, including EPUB, MOBI, TXT, HTMP, PDF, and LIT) and click Convert. The program prompted us to choose a destination for our converted file. That's about our only complaint with Hamster's simple, effective tool: We wish it saved converted titles to the source directory by default, or at least offered the option to set a default destination folder. But the program's options are essentially limited to choice of interface language.
Hamster Free Book Converter made quick work of our titles, converting them between several formats. The program tracks each title's progress down the list with very large numerical displays of the percent of total. When our job was done, we could click Open Folder to view our converted titles in the destination folder or return to the list. Apart from social media tools, that's all there is to Hamster Free Book Converter, and all there really needs to be to fulfill its mission. No matter what brand or type of reader you own or what format you've saved a title to, this fast, free tool makes it totally easy to access your e-books.
Publisher's Description
From Hamstersoft:
eBooks are the latest craze and you see them everywhere these days. It mostly started with the launch of the Amazon Kindle, but now there are numerous companies making their own eBook readers but, to make things complicated, most of them also provide their own proprietary formats which makes it complicated to use eBooks from one device on another, even including your computer itself. Hamster Free eBook Converter is the perfect solution for dealing with these problems, not only because it is completely free, but also because it provides a particularly user-friendly interface. To convert any eBook in any format from your digital library, all you need to do is drag and drop it into the program and then select the name of the device that you want to use it with. You don't actually need to know anything about different formats and file extensions. Once you've selected your device, the program will convert the eBook in just a few seconds. It also, of course, supports the most popular PDF format as well. Learn more at http://ebook.hamstersoft.com/.
What's new in this version: Hamster Free eBook Converter is the complete solution for those wanting to move their eBook library to different devices yet are plagued by compatibility issues.

"Needs a help file or user forum"
Version: Hamster Free eBook Converter 1.0.0.10
Pros
I've converted one .txt file to epub for my Nook Simple Touch. It reads as it should.
Cons
I can't get the converted epub file to take a name that the Nook can read. It calls it "Index" with author "Unknown." I've tried every renaming trick I know. A list of books all named "Index" is not useful. I cannot find a help file to see if this is really a killer bug for the program.
I should also note that the program download was very slow, and the conversion process is, too.Summary
Until I've figured out whether I can give the converted file a name that actually identifies it, I won't be using this program.

"Best one out there! Easy to use and Fast!"
Version: Hamster Free eBook Converter 1.0.0.10
Pros
Converts so many different files into epub. It will do pdf, epub, mobi, lit, word and more. I have nook color and this allows me to convert just about anything I need into what works best for the nook. I've had no issues with this and I've been using it for about 5-6 months now. AND there is no virus. My avast cleared it before it downloaded and I've had no problems either. ALSO it is very user friendly.
Cons
Pay attention to when you download this so you pick your correct language. I don't know what I picked orginally but you can't undo it once it gets stuck on a language. I had to redownload it to get it in English.
