I wrote a really long response describing what my plugin was doing and why and I was still writing when I realized that am I working "on nothing".

I know very well that having the best cover, the best description, the best tags, the most accurate information, a link to the author's page, etc.. wont make my books gain any value or make me want to read them more... yet I spend I stupidly long amount of time on exactly doing those things. I do it almost compulsively.

Time to stop working on that project, and go read a book. Thanks for you help.
