I'm currently running (or at the moment trying to...) 0.9.10, which is where I was when I heard the words of doom. <G> Thanks for mentioning what the last Book View version is; I neglected to note it down (somewhere I can now find, anyway) at the time, and hadn't yet gotten around to digging it up. I would have upgraded to it then, but there was a kefluffle about the intermediate versions, which I gather had some serious issues, so it seemed wiser to stick with one I knew worked well.

I tried Preview back when I first became a user, but it has the same disadvantage as I'm sure must PageEdit, which I have not tried: it uses up desktop real estate to no gain. I use my laptop as an actual laptop, ie no potential for a second screen, so desktop is at a premium even with a 17-inch monitor. One of the things that made me fall in love with Sigil Classic is that it can function very nicely in the middle third-slightly-plus of the screen, with a bunch of reference docs or heavily referenced folders squeezed into the sides. Lovely and convenient, both views accessible with a single click. I know lots of folks prefer having both all the time, but the quick-flip method works for me. In several years of frequent usage, I've literally never felt the need to open the preview window again.

I'll give 9.14 a try. Thanks again for your input!
