@chaley, I'm creating this post primarily FYI rather than expectation of change.
  • It's quite interesting how widgets/shortcuts can look quite different on different devices, or possibly different screen resolutions. For instance the 2 attached images both show shortcuts from 4 reading apps for the same book:

    (Left to right) - CC, Mantano, Moon+, Pocketbook.
    1st image - Galaxy Note 3 phone, res 1080x1920
    2nd image - Galaxy TabPro 8.4 tablet, res 1600x2560

    As you can see, on the Note3, the CC shortcut compares favourably with the other 3 shortcuts. However, on the TabPro, the CC cover image is rather small compared to the other 3.
  • Change to Mantano open book
    In the last couple of days I've opened a lot of epubs, both from within CC Book Details and from a CC widget/shortcut. I thought I ought to report that when choosing to open via Mantano I've had quite a lot of occurrences of 'Unfortunately, Mantano Reader Premium has stopped'. I don't think the epubs are at fault as I always make sure they are error-free in calibre Editor before transferring to CC. Also a book which fails to open in Mantano may open with no problem after a few attempts. I have a gut-feel that once Mantano has succeeded in opening the book then it is less likely to fail ever after, however I'm not totally sure about this. Perhaps other Mantano users can offer their experiences.
  • CC Stacked widget - my £0.02. I also like to be able to tell which is the latest book.
