File (or book):
- add books moved here
- edit metadata
- convert
- save to disk
- all menus from right click book

Calibre library renamed to Library

View
- tag browser
- search bar
- cover grid
- various UX elements, like search bar
- etc.

Preferences moved to File submenu?

Not necessarily that the above is exactly how it should be yet I think not everyone is going to know how to customize the toolbar, or other, and the major functions should be accessible from menus as with any other app. Doesn't that also add to accessibility? Same for Viewer.
No way. As things stand now, I can access the things I use most often with one click; if they were moved to a menu, I'd have to constantly use two clicks. Nope, that's certainly not user-friendly.

If they could still be added to the toolbar and accessed with one click, then they might also be in a menu somewhere, I wouldn't care. But I certainly want to access them just with one click.
