Whenever I see Calibre mentioned, I always think that I'd like to take the time and organize my hundreds of eBooks with all the metadata but can never seem to justify the effort since I will be reading on a different device that will lose that information. I have an Android phone and an iPad. The only cross platform solution I've found for syncing reading position between those ecosystems is Google Play Books, but th…

The onus is on you to demonstrate why it’s not negligible, besides demonstrating your ability to take offense more readily than most. Look, I’m not the person that insulted you, but I’m sorry this happened to you if it means you’ll reevaluate your perspective of this discussion.
Stating that you are sorry, while continuing with the "easily offended" spiel doesn't project sincerity. Let me be clear - I don't agree with your perspective, either on how offended you think I am or should be, (or how relevant it is to this thread outside purposeful trolling, with personal attacks) or how negligible the naming issue is. The onus is on you to substantiate these judgements.
A more level-headed version of what I was trying to communicate is that I agree that you're probably not as offended as I judged you to be by your replies in this thread. But if you're not as offended as I think you are, then why is this an issue at all - either regarding the replies you're getting in this thread or Kovid's communication that you linked earlier?
I just don't see why that mattered in the first place. It wasn't perfect communication, but it seemed like you were using this to make the point that Kovid's communication should indeed be at the forefront of the discussion of Calibre's development.

FBReader is cross-platform and I believe it sync's the way you want.

They were organizing a a dogpile there to comment and vote on this github issue. Why would you give in to a bully? He should have just blocked anyone who downvoted his responses. Also a fork of PuTTY? Who cares.

> Kovid puts in an extraordinary amount of work Extraordinary amount of work does not guarantee extraordinary quality or results, not even ordinary quality. > Anyone who has spent a decent amount of time on the mobileread forums will also know him as a remarkably intelligent, dedicated, and all-round fantastic guy. Reads like a working para social addiction. Anyway, whatever qualities one has, doesn't matter. One can…
I don’t mean this in a snarky way, but how does this comment add value?
Kovid Goyal, the developer of Calibre, is a very responsive, very gentle person. Whenever I needed help, I have gotten help from him. [1] - Calibre is an indispensable tool for me to manage my digital library with close to 800 books. I support him regularly. Consinder doing it as well if you appreciate the app. Go to https://calibre-ebook.com/ , there’s a support link on the top right. [1] This is the forum dedicated…

I love the idea of Calibre, but I just have no idea how to use it. Whenever I try, I get stuck in some kind of confused loop where I've added things to it, but all attempts to access them just loop back to Calibre. In other words, I can't get it to let me actually read anything.

Most (all commercially available?$ebook readers are not as simple as that. And a file manager doesn’t track which books of mine are synced and which are not. Calibre does. A file manager does not make it easy for me to correct the ebook’s metadata so it appears properly on the ebook reader. Calibre does. Calibre will also automatically download metadata for you from a variety of sources (with many options for the lev…
Calibre does a lot of course, but for your first point, Kobo exposes a folder when connected via USB, and you can drag plain epubs over which it will then load into its library with no additional software.
