1. Where is the Ad? The subject says "BookFusion Cloud Sync" is that what your referring to? Or the sub heading "Your entire Calibre eBook Collection is only a tap away "
When I posted, the title of the thread something like "Sync your entire eBook collection to all your devices - BookFusion Cloud Sync". I considered that first bit an ad rather and not actually help in terms of this forum. I assume a moderator agreed with me about the subject, and fixed it since then. I thought about it later, and I realised that if it was the other way round (plugin name followed by the function claim/ad), I wouldn't have been as bothered by it.

2. Devices - Most devices are based on Android & iOS that users use today. Users sync their eBooks to their Kindle devices via the web interface by clicking send to Kindle and some Kobo users have installed the Android app on their devices.

"All Devices" was not meant to be cover every possible device but the majority of devices that users read on today. However, I can update it to read "Most Devices" since the intention is not to mislead anyone.
I understand why you used "all device". And in most places, it would probably be OK, but here, you have a large number of people that use devices that you don't support, or only partly support. And to me, using the Kindle email function falls into "partly support" as you don't support reading position syncing. And of course, if you used "all devices" in any advertising without very good disclaimers, someone is going to come after you sooner or later.

And as to Kobo owners installing your app, that either means they are using a Vox, which is an Android table that Kobo stopped selling years ago, or they have installed Android as a replacement for the Kobo supplied OS and application. People who have done the latter is tiny and using them as justification for "all" supporting Kobo devices and hence "all devices" is reaching a bit far.

And as a comment, if I started using BookFusion and this plugin, the dialog displayed in the second last screenshot would really bug me each time I saw it. It is OK for the first time user, but after that, all that text adds absolutely nothing. It is just an ad and you have already made the sale. If it changes as someone uses the plugin, then OK. And the "& on Any Device" at the end of the title is just not needed. It is repeating what has already been said, "on Your Devices" and is a little contradictory - is it "all" or just my devices?.
