Hi -- it looks like in all my cc playtime I neglected to ever come back during the beta to post my results. Just finished reading through the thread, and I see that my only issue didn't ever get discussed. I'm not entirely sure it's a cc thing anyway, it is most likely a calibre phenomenon, but here goes.

I have a nexus 7 FHD (aka 2013). I'm guessing that translates in your list to the 1.6% "tilapia" installs.
I've been working with caliber .9.4.3, .9.4.4 and now, today, 1.0

I have sent many hundreds of books to the n7 sucessful, and have opened and read several of them in the various readers I have installed, moon+ pro, FBReader, Cool Reader, Mantano Lite, Aldiko, and Perfect Viewer, jjComics Viewer, and Komik.

I would really like to see CC add some more customizability of which readers you prefer, and also some expansion to formats to include some popular comic formats.

For example, I have CBZ and CBR files, which you cannot open via CC because no reader app appears that is compatible with that format. unless, and I suspect Calibre is at fault here, for some reason a .mobi format is associated with that comic.

every cbz or cbr file with correct metadata information in CC opens (in mobi) to a single file which is unrelated to the actual title chosen in CC.

edit: I suspect the presence of the .mobi for comic files is in fact a calibre companion phenomenon, as my method for adding those to the n7 was via wireless content server through cc. I don't maintain mobi versions of comics, period. I suspect that the reason for those taking so long (many hours) to download to the n7 was that they were triggering a conversion to .mobi as part of the download request.

I don't know why, but something like 40 cbz books in calibre companion all open to the same one .mobi.

I love the grouping drawer
I love the cover view
I am seriously in love with the fact that I can adjust the sizes and, for my huge library, view a 9x8 grid and fling my way through with virtually no lag (yes, I can see some covers populating as I fling, but hey -- there's no wait and its fast fast fast).

I really liked the original wood shelf background, tried the light gray which was snazzy, but have settled on the latest dark gray shelf.

Not new to the beta but awesome about calibre, I love being able to connect as a wireless device to the content server. Super cool.
