Sampling bias? I know plenty of leftist publications like The Wire, Scroll, News Laundry and even NDTV who are free to express their opinions without censorhip. It's just that the majority of Indians don't ,trust any documentarists anymore (leftist or rightist) because they all push their own agenda.
Yes, indeed. It is mentioned in the wikipedia link ("गोपीभाग्यमधुव्रात..."). I first read it in the "Vedic Mathematics" book by HH Bharati Krishna Tirtha Swamiji. Since he didn't give any attribution, I suppose he was the first one to reveal it.
UI with minimalism, open source and cross-platform (Win, Lin, Mac) -- what's not to like about it?!
And a great name too. Kavita means poem or poetry in Sanskrit and pretty much all Indic languages.
I'm sure others will point out the pros/cons vis-a-vis Calibre reader. But each serves a different niche. This one seems particularly geared towards comics. So cannot expect all the bells and whistles of Calibre.
