Usage statistics

This ID is used to collect usage statistics. Only this ID is stored, no other identifying information is collected. And no collected information is ever shared with any third party.
Active installs: 2,790,685 (those that have started calibre at least once in the last 60 days)
Note that installs are not users. A single user could run calibre on multiple computers. A single calibre install could be used by multiple people.
