I thought I was buzzing along, doing everything I could do before, but eventually I opened a specific epub to read in the calibre reader (9MB, published by "Author & Company", OverDrive-->ADE2.0-->Tools609-->Calibre Library), which crashes qtcore5.dll when the reader attempts to load the book's "flow".
I could even do epub-->epub conversion in Calibre, and reload the Calibre-created, license-stripped epub back into ADE 2.0 and read it, but attempts to read or edit the title in Calibre? Out of the question.
Not a lecture, just a story.
Also, soon there will be developments in epub format, device drivers, etc. You have to weigh how important those things are in your book workflow when considering what to do in the future.

Very well said. Another thing I can see happening is new plugins/drivers not supporting Qt4.
