To follow on from what Steven said, I didn't want to be in a position where calibre sent files that no reader on the device can handle. Discovering that the problem exists can be problematic because no messages are produced. On the other hand, calibre pops up an "auto-convert" dialog if the formats are not supported, thus telling the user that a problem exists and (one hopes) giving some motivation for finding a solution.

Looking through it seems you have met my short term requests.
One suggestion, if it is under your control it would be nice if the %All by author category was sorted by Author, by Series, by Title.

If by "under my control" you mean under CC's control, then no, it isn't possible. Calibre does not provide the sorting criteria for collections.
I could change calibre's collection builder to make the default sort for aba to be what you suggest, but the idea scares me a bit. I don't know how many people depend on the current order.
You could change it by specifying sort criteria when you build the collection. See the Sony collections tweaks for that. I suspect you would need to build a composite custom column containing the sort string you want to use.

Longer term
I think giving folks font size control is always a plus for folks getting up in age. The current font size works well, it is just my personal preference to have control.

Steven and I haven't discussed this one, but I think you are right. I just added it to our todo list.

Adding the ability to view a book jacket representation of the cover and metadata would be nice.

This has percolated to near the top of our list.

Being able to access calibre content server or any OPDS catalog you wanted to add.

An OPDS client is a good idea. We will look at that when we start looking at how to use CC to get books from calibre instead of being only a passive client.
