I'm not arguing for myself (I didn't even know there was a menu there until this came up), but this seems backwards to me. It would be one thing if most people were going to be using Google Books. Then greying it out would be a way of telling them that they can't do this now, but here is the option when you have finished installing Google Books.
But, isn't Google Books a fairly obscure use-case? Are a lot of people really going to go - Calibre->Calibre-Companion->Google-Books->Cloud? Won't most people go: Calibre->Cloud->Google Books. If that is true, then this is going to be an option that's just greyed out all the time for most of your users.
This is just as academic question, for my own use, I really don't mind either way.
