The other problem is not being able to adjust the colors in the reader.
Ybook and many other readers have that simple feature which makes reading, especially at night, much more enjoyable.

OK, blast away. I know many people here will only see the negatives and will ignore the constructive criticism contained herein.

Color changes in the Viewer can be achieved via CSS.
- Click View,
- click the hammer icon,
- enter your CSS in the User stylesheet box on the bottom,
- click OK.
E.g., the following will get you a green background that imitates an old non-backlit PDA (or maybe an Ectaco?). But
choose whatever colors, margin, etc. you want using CSS.
Code:
body {
color: rgb(0,0,0);
background-color:rgb(184,187,164);
}
The borders around the content will still be gray, the search boxes white. Note that there's no color control in Kindle for PC/Mac, nor in Sony's Reader Library viewer. Kudos to Kovid for thinking to make Calibre so extensible.
But really, you call this wonder "almost useless?" It
- converts
- views (on several platforms)
- organizes
- loads
- fetches magazines and newspapers (free!)
- has a content server you can access from a Kindle wirelessly.
You can't see that one or more of those things might be beneficial to most everyone else? Being shortsighted is fine, we all do that. But to get your points noticed, you crossed over to insulting a tremendous effort and product.
