And while on the subject of age labels, young adult for books is wrong. YA means for teens. But, you cannot be a YA unless you are an adult. You are either an adult or you are not. So the term YA is worthless.
And yo get back on topic, I hope Calibre has another 10 very good years.

Being an adult and being a teenager are not mutually exclusive. You can be both at 18/19, as I once was.
Similarly you can be a both a child and a teenager, as I also once was (I was also once all three).
I now am both an adult and middle-aged (and to my nieces/nephews old).
IMHO Being an adult/child is more about maturity than age, whereas being a teenager is being aged 13-19 regardless of maturity.

To be honest I've been using it that long from I first got my Sony prs505 that i can't believe its been only 10 years.
