Calibre is getting so perfect that I hardly dare to suggest such tiny improvements, from my longtime user experience.

- I think that the "Remove from device" command should be grouped with "Send to device"; all other "remove" commands are about the Calibre library on the HD. This would be (yet) safer. This is easy.

- I often load epubs in my Calibre library, then consider they are poorly built, an rebuild them, generally extracting the HTML with style-sheets, then converting them to ODT or DOCX. Everything in the same folder, but unbeknownst to Calibre. I wish there were a possibility for taking into account these new files that were not built by Calibre without dropping my ODT into Calibre again and creating a new folder. Maybe more difficult.

I love the new editor. Only the two message windows are not yet perfectly handy. Maybe new buttons, e.g. for automated fixes would help?

Thank you again for the fantastic work.
