thing is, that's how all books work, e & p, pay once, use forever, so its sort of expected that book handler apps should be the same.
e reader apps are all either free, or pay once... Moon, Aldiko ... and Calibre itself, as we know, is 100% free and will almost certainly remain so
also, a simple librarian app should not need constant enhancements & updates, code it once, get it right, leave it be....
we are probably both repeating ourselves but i don't thing the subscription model is going to be viable either, and that its' only a matter of time before a "good enough" open source , freeware solution appears
