@DNSB, what an insightful response - thank you. Today I not only learned what "curmudgeon" means (bad-tempered) but also "baby duckling syndrome" (first experience with a UI being the preferred one) - I feel like you have hit why the poll results are the way they are right on the head.
My goal from the start has been to implement this feature in the most unobtrusive, "Calibre-like" way possible, precisely because I respect the ethos of the Calibre community's healthy skepticism toward change. We shall see in the ensuing posts/threads/days what shall be the end-case!
