I thought I'd just put these all together in case they've already been addressed somehow:

1. I still find that when I add books to the Calibre library in Windows XP, the adding books dialogue box often fails to close afterward, and won't go away unless I restart Calibre. (I know there was a fix on this a few versions back. Not sure if the fix worked, then got messed up in a newer release.)

2. When I open the Viewer on a LRF file, the viewer window almost always opens with the bottom of the window down behind my Quicklaunch bar, requiring me to move it up. When I do readjust it, the display doesn't properly resize to fit the viewer window, but generally has a vertical scroll bar for each given page, requiring up and down scrolling on each page. (Sort of like a PDF with fixed pages.) Doesn't seem to happen with the EPUB viewer.

3. Don't know how doable this is, but for those of us who like to keep the latest version of Calibre, it would be really nice if we could click an update button from within the program, and have it handle the download and install process.

Thanks, as always. Now that I use Calibre, I couldn't manage without it.
