It was not clear to me that you wanted a link to the content of books. I have no idea what Hook does, nor is it immediately obvious from its webpage that that is what it does. Referencing a little known, and IMO a poorly documented, product is not very effective way of defining a software requirement.

I doubt 5% of calibre users are PC aficionados, I certainly wouldn't call myself that. Have you thought about employing a software developer to build a bespoke version of calibre - its licensing would allow that.

BTW Kovid wrote 'calibre is the leader in its field' - which is ebook library management. He did not claim it is the 'most used e-reader application'.

Wait...Calibre is an "e-reader application"? I seriously never thought of it as that...to me it's only function is to manage my books, not read them. I do sometimes use the e-book viewer to check something in a specific book, but I definitely don't use it for reading. I know that some people *do* read on their PCs, but I would bet that the majority of people using Calibre are using it to manage their libraries, not read their books.
