But I suppose this would mean changing Bookend's underlying database, wouldn't it? The other problem is that iCloud requires distribution through the Mac App store, right?
Don't worry, we haven't abandoned the thought of cloud distribution. But it probably won't be iCloud (it could conceivably be for BOT). And it's not going to happen overnight.
