Or, if they want to code, are they going to built onto calibre so that, a month from now, they can have something they don't have already? Three years for the same thing, or a month for a better thing ... that decision is a no-brainer.

Dear Friend,
I an agree with Andy from the beginning, when he called it less port more look alike. I have no problem what it is being called, because motive is quite larger than this.
But just for you, dont take it in offensive way. There would be even no calibre if Kovid sir had thought the same, I m sure there were some ebook reader, may be not very nice.
I am no where disgracing Calibre as it is the cause of that is cooking up in my mind. With all due respect to Calibre team and Kovid Sir's efforts.
And I m sure there would be no operating system, after the first one, as u can consider that as reinventing of wheel.
I have no intension to offend you, just promoting the coexistence.
