I haven't had an opportunity to play around much. Change is always difficult! I downloaded the Mac version. Note: I use OS X 10.5.8 32-bit.
First impressions: Icons are way too big. Notice the slide bar in the lower-right corner to make them smaller. Too bad you can't change the text size of the list this way! You can however change the width of the columns in the list view which is critical to prevent having to scroll both horizontal & vertically which was wreaking havoc with my touchpad.
It didn't choke on the books in my account that have never been converted to EPUB like the Android app does. It just doesn't show them in the list. In the old software, they showed forever as "Available Soon" (yeah, right, 2 years later...).
The best news for me is that collections are still available! You will have to create them from scratch again since you can't import them from the old software. Also, although the software is setup to sync with your entire library by default, it does offer the ability to filter content still like by collections. It actually looks like it might be more powerful management features, just not intuitive. I will have to read through the help manual some other time.
Also, don't forget to turn off the auto-launch and sync with reader and auto-update if you don't like those preferences.
