I also think that there should be a cc2 for android 8, and maybe not update the current version anymore for those of us who will not be going to 8. I won't be updating my tablets to 8 to avoid the double storage of books. Unfortunately, my phone has already updated to 8, but I seldom read on it, so duplicate books would be ok for me there, but I suspect not for others. Also, what a burden on chaley to maintain 2 versions.

I disagree that cc should have a built in reader - just reading the forums of various readers show that we are all diverse in what we like on a reader app. Again, a tremendous burden on chaley. Including a reader in cc would get out of hand (I think). Case in point, I totally love Calibre and am so greatful for it, but with each update with more features, it loads and runs slower and slower.
