The issue is that the users of calibre on PCs connected to large screen monitors with several feet between their eyes and the screen have to use and frequently ctrl+ & ctrl- to adjust the font size to cope with diplopia and other eye challenges which change, sometimes on an hourly basis, depending on the state of their neurotransmitters, every day.
Since these font size changes also change the size of the Reader GUI font, at larger font sizes destroying its usability, the new Reader GUI is, for them, and I'm one of "them", an absulute non-starter. For me and other visually-challenged users the new GUI is a Calibre-killer.
I assist several other people in care facilities with these issues and just finished reinstalling 3.48.0 with a warning not to update Calibre any more. They were so grateful to be able to read their books again.
