While I don't have any issues with Calibre in the classroom, the poll makes no sense. Of course students should have access to literature at all times. But they can access literature in many forms (including old fashioned books), various formats and so on. Calibre is a great product that exists because of volunteers and donations. It makes more sense to ask what you and others can do to help get it there. And if it is a matter of engineering time, well, Kovid is one person and he has already donated and done HUGE amounts of work for the reading and writing community!!! Others have also donated brain power and time. It's a great product, but the problem is changing technology/new products like Chrome, not Calibre...
