yes, I am aware they are closed source, but as they are inactive/broken, the owners may consider sharing ?


i guess CC breaks down in to the librarian function, and the connection functions
for the latter, ideally, there is
connect to content server, or alt. ODPS server,
connect AS wireless device,
connect to ( various) clouds.
different users will have different wishlists/priorities
dunno if some sort of poll would help to assess interests ?
or if there's mileage in having a pair of replacements that can work together - one for library, one for connects ?

the alt apps seem to have chosen only to offer connect to (calibre libraries in) clouds, and little or nothing of the librarian stuff.
AFAIK all the main issues with android are to do with cloud access & support; the actual connect to calibre itself still works well, as does the handing off to various android reader apps, but there's stuff on the horizon about needing target later versions of android, to keep Google Play happy ( detailed in other threads)
