Hello again!

Thank you for your quick and clear reply. Much appreciated. Would there be instead any way in which in the future there would be a choice of versions of e-viewer available to be used with the main Libarary software? As a bolt-on or possible extra download choice? Would you please consider this?

I do occasionally use Kindle, Kobo - mainly for bought fiction - but do prefer Calibre e-viewer for most things and usually use it in preference, whether a book is in my library or not. It is useful to have a choice of e-viewers, as I have found that different types of books and study materials suit different functions in e-viewers - the footnote function in the older versions is one such. I am not complaning about the changes in the newest versions, by the way, anything but! I think it is great! I just have this one issue with *loads* of footnotes in text! (I have an only weeks old blazing quick new laptop, but the footnotes in the new style box seem to open relatively slowly, btw. Not sure why...)

Thank you for providing such excellent software - I would be lost without Calibre!
