Improve tooltips to actually explain what’s happening and describe better what the user is looking at.
The tool tips should be able to be adjusted - maybe have a "New User" setting to Calibre that makes the tool tips bigger and more verbose - gives better instructions on things - when you hover over areas it will identifiy them - like "book list" and "GUI" and "UI". I see the tool tips, but they are tiny and often not seen. For the "Beginning User" setting - have the tool tips be overly verbose - really give the information. Especially for important settings that can make or break a user experience.

My issue with all of this... is that, in the end, it's based on people reading the tooltips... and through different places (even this forum), I've sadly understood that reading is overrated (not wanting to rain in your parade, just my experience).
