    I don't use Calibre often - I prefer to read books on my tablet these days - but I needed to use it today, and it popped up the "There is a new version!" dialog. Nope, just leave me alone... Then when I was done I thought to myself, "so which version was it again?" - hepfully it shows me on it's status bar: V1.5 is available. And what version am I? V0.9 - hmm, that's only six versions...but V0 always sound like beta to me. Maybe I should upgrade? Let's see the changelog...ah. Not V0.9 then, V0.9.12 And there was 0.9.12 to 0.9.44 inclusive? Before it switched to 1.0? Maybe I should do auto updates... :-O

      I tried using Calibre to convert a couple of PDF's to eBook but I didn' read the instructions on how to do it and they turned out terrible so I downloaded Foxit for my tablet and it works great.

        Think about all the bug patches you avoided by not updating. Whenever the software allows, I wait for at least a week before allowing it to update itself. Whenever it does not allow, I hunt down and delete its freaking autoupdate executable.
