Updated this morning and saw the new icons. Since I rarely use Calibre (I don't add books everyday or fiddle with my libarary), I don't remember what the original icons were but I believe they were easier to interpret than the new ones.

Couple of comments:
- They are not uniform in style, eg. "Add Book" versus "View".
- "Edit Metadata" icon - if it's a "i", I would refer it to "View information" and not "Edit".
- Probably not a good picture for "Convert book". It also looks almost the same as that "Recycle" button (which happens to be "Remove book"!!) - Perhaps a trash can would be a better choice?
- And fetch news icon ... how about a newspaper?

Just some thoughts.
