Hi, I'm a bit frustrated with the GUI, it is very probable that my issues are mainly due to a lack of understanding how things are suppose to work.

Specifically I'm talking about the left column, When I click on the News in left column all I expect to see is downloaded news sources in the center column. If I open the news bar in the left column I should see the individual news sources and be able to take +or- which to display. However when I click on News I get books mixed in with the news sources, this has made me very reluctant to add my entire epub library with is over a 1000 books because I mainly use Calibre now for d/l news. Now to just see news sources I have to click on 'Calibre' in Publishers. Also with the news issue, when I set up how many days to keep I put 1 day, but there is always 5 days saved maybe more I keep deleting the extra days ever 3rd or 4th day, very annoying. In fact I completely deleted and uninstalled calibre to correct this problem and again setup each news source for 1 day and again 5 or more days keeps getting saved.

Next books. Why isn't there a book header or tab category (not sure what they are called) in the left column. I want to click on 'books' and only see books.

Anyway Calibre is an awesome app, thanks so much for all the hard work.
