previously, I found that moon reader direct to calibre ODPS via wifi was a reasonable work-around, so long as library PC was running, but then I fell out of love with moon reader..
and the talk here of some free open -source development seems to have fizzled out..
i find it rude that none of the "development team" guys who worked for Sam Cohen ever came back or posted that they had quit, or why.
Could be that Covid wiped out the entire team but more likely they just did a runner...

My impression is that the person who bought CC basically had a business model of hiring some contract programmers or a programming firm to do the work rather than actually have a company with employees. He did have a program manager who was active for a while. My guess is that the idea was to get the program in a stable situation with ads and subscriptions and then let everyone go.
As I've said before, I think that CC is very much a niche product that doesn't really have a big enough market to support a full time developer. It's more suited to someone doing it as a side job or hobby, or possibly an open source project.
