Question 1: would you prefer that we released ASAP a version that connects as a device but has no support for the content server, or instead that we wait for a release that supports both device and content server connectivity in the initial version?

Question 2: are any of you running calibre on a traveling computer such as a laptop that connects to public wifi networks that should be considered as not secure?

Question 3: do any of you have more than one computer running calibre to which you might want to connect your smart device?

Thanks in advance.

NB: if the first release is device-only, content server support would be provided later as a free upgrade.
Very Nice... Answers to your questions from my point of view are...
1) Device only is fine for me.
2) Yes. My operating mode was to take my Kindle, and now my Nexus 7 with me while traveling (frequently...) so I use Calibre on both my home and my corporate laptop. While traveling, I am occassionally connected to public networks, but more commonly to hotel networks, which I consider only marginally safer than public networks.
3) Yes, as noted in answer 2.

Many thanks for your efforts on this!
