At the time there was no suggestion that anyone other than a small number of people were even trying the app! Also it was primarily a proto-typing exercise to see how things might work.

In terms of converting it to something else - SQL Server is not really practical as the calibre database is an SQLite one. In terms of conversion to VB, that should be trivial. I deliberately did not do it the first time as there is no need for a UI, and it would tie the app even more firmly to a PC environment - something that is not in the spirit of calibre. I actually want the final version to run on my NAS box which is not capable of running the main calibre application directly.
