Recommending to use an uninstaller program is absurd, sure it probably would work, but why should I have to? The author of the program, so put as much time into removing his software, as he does into creating it. It boils down to just flat out sloppy programming, and then people blame the OS as the problem, when you can look clearly and see that most the problems are because software manufacturers are not completely uninstalling their software, some do it intentionally, others it's just sloppy programming. I actually believe that there should be a law for this, because of the impact it has on millions of users. Of course by having crummy programmed applications, creates a market for people to make uninstallers.

If you install things on someone's computer, your uninstaller should remove those same things. Now I understand that the OS will create some files or settings itself, and this can't be held responsible to the software writer. However, clearly calibre is NOT removing all the stuff it installs. If it was, then after I uninstalled it, and then reinstalled it, it should not have my library settings from the previous install. Comprende? and that's just one example.
