Thank you for the very thorough reply! Very good to hear that it generally works well, even though there are some things that should be improved.

Although that might be because I think I also mixed the connection mode, I've tried before both connecting to Calibre as a wireless device and connecting to the content server, and I think the books downloaded when connecting as wireless device couldn't be moved, the template I use in Calibre to name the downloaded file wasn't to JetReader liking 😀.

I tried making the new library location system backwards compatible, but it's probably not perfect. Your solution of simply restarting the library is a good workaround when issues arise. Could be some edge case when you mixed different connections in a previous version. I'll keep it in mind, and see what I can improve in the future!

The library name is already possible, using the {source_name} template item -- as long as you haven't renamed the source to something else, it will default to the library name. Virtual libraries or custom columns I hadn't considered. I'll add that to my list.

I'll have a look at this. When picking font size in JetReader, there is a "Forced" checkbox. If this is checked, then it will override all font sizes in the book (meant to help with old/badly formatted books). If that's unchecked, however, JetReader should be able to show different font sizes like other readers.

It is not something happening every time I call up the menu, I can't reproduce it at will, if I find a pattern for this behavior I'll report here.

Hm, yeah, that sounds like a bug. I did fix something similar while working on the soon-to-be-released update, so it might be fixed, but I can't guarantee it. If you continue to experience it after updating, and/or find a pattern, please let me know!
