I couldn't have put it better. It's as if they're degrading the experience so you'll use some proprietary app. If I'd been prompted to visit the play store it would not have been a surprise

> Perhaps this is a good side project for me to delve into ;) By all means, please do. There are no alternatives out there to calibre. I think its an excellent app once you get used to it, but competition is healthy.

This was my original thought. Zuckerberg hired people to scale facebook to what it has become today.

Is Zuckerberg really considered to be a genius programmer? He's a very shrewd businessman alright, but Facebook is just a php website
