He's very patient and kind with beginners, responsive to feedback, and rarely loses his cool with anyone. Anyone who has spent a decent amount of time on the mobileread forums will also know him as a remarkably intelligent, dedicated, and all-round fantastic guy. Kovid puts in an extraordinary amount of work (nearly 80 hours a week) into Calibre - of which most is for free, in the name of open source software. I must admit, I'm slightly shocked at some of the comments here. This comment is from the perspective of a Calibre power-user, and someone who has been involved with the software for years now.
