kovidgoyal.net ?

I clicked on the indicated link in MR (see attachment) and expected http://calibre-ebook.com/, but instead I was directed to http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/ which looks like an old (as it mentioned Mozilla 1.4 and 2003 as year) site from Kovid.

Is this an intended new way to introduce some background info about Kovid or am I missing something?

You went where the link (hover) said it was going to go.

Parts of the Calibre project are hosted on different sites.

IMHO having alternate paths is a good thing. Meltdowns (Hardware/ software/ host company) do happen

Keeping some eggs in a different basket is always a good plan

BTW IIRC the original Calibre project was on Google. I think a related site was called for for ancillary material.

That link should be changed to http://calibre-ebook.com

In any case, I have added a redirect from http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net to http://calibre-ebook.com
