Unlike 95% of Windows/Mac apps it's not icon-based in terms of object management (it's list-based). In short, it is intimidating and fairly shouts at the user "this is for serious users only!!" Well, at least you'd agree with that!

Hmm the 80% you know are obviously very different from the 80% I know. You are seriously coming in here to claim that 80% of humans dont know what to do with a list?!

You have no evidence of this. 6 million is a drop in the total population bucket of computer users. And how many of those 6 million installs are actually being used?

Wait, you feel free to make sweeping claims about 80% of the people in the world, and then have the temerity to ask me to provide evidence. Unfortunately, unlike you, I actually can provide that evidence:
http://status.calibre-ebook.com/ those represent calibre installs that have been started atleast once in the last three months. Given that the total size of the ebook market is, as best as I can tell, between 10 and 20 million people, I'll leave you to do the rather elementary math.

My point is that calibre looks unfamiliar and complicated.We agree on this, calibre is for the 20%, not the 80%.

No, we dont. I say that calibre is for people that are serious about maintaining a large personal collection of ebooks. That may be 20% of all the people in the world, it may be 2%, it may be 0.2%, I have no idea. I claim that calibre is the tool of choice for such people, irrespective of their tech level. I provide evidence to support my claims, all I see from you is hand waving.

I think I have adequately explained why you are completely wrong on this. End of my participation in this discussion.

You haven't even understood what I was saying, let alone "adequately explained" anything.
