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

"Spyware and virus!!! Take it down CNET!!!"

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 :(((

"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.
