The guy you're currently insulting gets enough donations to be able to make a living from them and develop Calibre full time. What was your point again?

And for your reference, I'll tell you that I, too, have done more than a little bit of programming (though not in Python), so I'm FULLY aware that it is _entirely_ possible to read the unique disk ID of every storage device, and thus differentiate between them. If you've tired of further development of Calibre, at least have the decency to say so; otherwise, you risk giving the impression that you are either too ignorant or lazy to make further changes to the program yourself.

Go ahead and write a patch. This is open source, which means that users aren't entitled to having something done by the developers (yes, there is more than one person developing Calibre), but might have to do something by themselves. In the past, Kovid has included many patches submitted by users.
