    "Will not run if you remove all the spyware."

    May 14, 2013  |   By YousafMS

    Version: Hamster Free eBook Converter 1.0.0.10

    Pros

    Honestly, I can't list one because I never got to use the software. See the "Cons" for clarification.

    Cons

    By installing this software, you consent to downloading several pieces of software along with the "Hamster Free eBook Converter", which is really bloatware. Links to video games, and a real doozy of spyware called "Spy Deal". Cute how they don't even try to mask their outright spying on your privacy. I liked the idea of this software, but at the expense of my privacy? I think not. I uninstalled all the bloatware, and guess what? The eBook converter stopped working. Imagine that.

    Summary

    If you don't mind giving up your privacy, and enjoy having bloatware/spyware (and probably end up getting viruses down the road)...by all means download this software. Not for me.

    May 8, 2013  |   By RandomClay

    Version: Hamster Free eBook Converter 1.0.0.10

    Pros

    None. Wouldn't even run

    Cons

    It tried to install "Hamster Video" and my spyware alarms went off. It then opened a Russian website for me. I wonder if anything slipped by :(

    Summary

    Shame on CNET for hosting this file!!! I downloaded it using your direct link and may have bombed my computer :(((

    "ADWARE! DO NOT DOWNLOAD!"

    December 8, 2012  |   By Pro-Fusion

    Version: Hamster Free eBook Converter 1.0.0.10

    Pros

    NONE - dangerous app

    Cons

    Not only does this app not create a searchable Kindle document, it installs four adware applications that take over your browsers.

    Summary

    I would avoid this app at all costs.

    "Needs a help file or user forum"

    April 16, 2012  |   By pandra

    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!"

    January 6, 2012  |   By MelanieGG

    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.
