I have worked in high tech for many years. I am very familiar with the design process. I have my ideas and my preferences. I put out a few thoughts in this thread. Why not? Isn't that what discussion forums are for? Do I need to make a rock-solid case for my thoughts to avoid being called "stupid"?
I like Calibre and I'm glad I entered my library into it. I'm glad, through this forum, to have learned a few things that will make my use of Calibre more productive. I haven't contributed yet but I will. I think if I get value out of a software product that the person/company who creates and supports it should get a fair amount of money in return.
I do think Calibre is overly complex. I would guess that more people would find it useful if there were fewer features and it was more simple to use. Maybe two versions would be a good idea, one fairly basic and one that has fuller features.
I'm sorry that you feel my ideas are stupid. I'm also sorry that you can't be more civil in your replies.

Calibre
grew to what you see today. Go read the History of Calibre.
The Idea was poorly conceived due to a failure of the originator to fully understand the ramifications of repeatedly trying to import the same books.
There, is that a better way of saying that it is a Stupid Idea?
