#5Calibre's interface isn't to my liking but since they added the possibility to manage collections/bookshelves ~two years ago for my almost ten year old kobo I love it a lot ^^. Managing collections/bookshelves on the Kobo is a major PITA.

#6Calibre just works and is great, but the user interface needs some work to modernize how it looks and to be less confusing in general. I'd love a fork that follows the Gnome Human Interface guidelines.

Added support for Kobo's "series" organization feature as well. Apparently requires some janky 2-stage process because it's not done with the book's built-in metadata; you have to sync the books to the Kobo, then sync again for it to poke the special series sauce after the files are on the device.
Seems like a needlessly complicated way to do it when the books have series metadata, so props to Calibre for the extra work to support that!

Similarly, I primarily use calibre-debug CLI to extract resources from ebook.
