A free demo version of CC has been published on the Google Play store. This demo version is fully functional except that it is limited to 10 books on the device. The intent is to permit people to try-before-buy CC. Users can verify that it connects to calibre on their network and that it does what we say it does and what they want. The demo version is not time limited. If a user is able to live with the 10-book limitation, there is no requirement that he or she ever upgrade to the full version.

Upgrading to the full version of CC requires buying it. There is no in-app upgrade path.

Publishing this version is a bit of an experiment for us. It could be that having the limited version hurts us more than it helps, especially as relates to reviews. We will see.
