Please everyone: don't misunderstand my comment below as an angry rant. I'm just really curious about the choices of some people.
I know it will not help much to answer your questions, but I just have to ask, as it isn't the first time I notice this. Why do people with no previous experience of calibre choose to start with the beta? There's a pretty stable regular version around, for which they can get support from a big crowd of more experienced people, whereas with the beta questions will be much harder to answer. One needs to know about it (not everybody wants to be a beta tester), and if one does, one needs to determine whether the cause is the new code
that is being tested or just something the new user did not understand.
I'm not blaming new users for not understanding everything about a complex piece of software, that's completely normal. But why do some of them make the learning curve even steeper by selecting a preliminary version instead of the stable one?
