I know. Well, that's not good enough for me, and Calibre 4.X has been more than enough for me until now. I am of course following the progress of DeDRM and at some point I'm sure I will find it mature enough to switch. Until then I don't feel a strong need to switch to Calibre 5 (this should not be understood as a criticism of Calibre 5, by the way: I completely understand the reasons for the plugin incompatibility and I think Kovid was 110% right to move to Python3).

Now here I am seeing a plugin that looks interesting to me, I'm observing that it requires Calibre >= 5.0.0, and I'm just curious on the strength of this requirement. Not disappointed, not frustrated, just curious. I don't mean that it needs to be 4.X-compatible, I'm just interested in testing that possibility. And apparently it will take more than a single code change, as far as I can tell from my first quick test. Not a huge problem, but perhaps a fun challenge.

And now, returning to the original topic: kudos to Bradles for the cool idea, obviously!
