Looking at the Calibre Sub-Forums, Library Management has the largest number of threads *and* the largest number of posts.

Even generic conversion issues only reach 11,000, so 85% or so of the activity is totally unrelated in any way to platform transportability.

Rather Calibre Forum users seem mostly concerned with usability.
Hardly a shock with a program that adds features weekly and does content acquisition, management, and distribution.

Calibre is trivial to start using but a bear to master.
Rather like Chess or Go.
thank you for the assessment.

I definitely agree re Calibre being a 'bear to master', but I'm hangin' in there!!
