As someone who migrated from CalibreCompanion, this sounds a bit ominous. One reason CC failed was that someone bought the developer rights, released a series of bad versions (it doesn't make sense that they'd do that on puropse, but...?). Time to turn updates off, stash a copy of the APK?

I’m not personally worried about malicious updates. There have been no Calibre Sync updates for a year.

But Android is a moving target. My understanding is CC stopped working because of Android changes to file access permissions that CC didn’t keep up with.

I expect something like that will happen to Calibre Sync eventually, too.
