Thanks for posting this. I have actually been thinking Kovid should either do an IPO or start selling it. I have donated a couple times, because the use I get our of Calibre is at least as good as Quicken. And I get updates every week!

Getting all my books into Calibre and in the cloud took a lot of evenings, fixing up metadata, downloading cover, etc. For that reason, any competing program would have to promise to read the book to me, for me to switch (not really, I don't like being read to). Now that the virtual libraries are available, I don't see a reason to even look elsewhere. I promise to love and cherish, until my ereader gives out!
