  1. Create a patch by hacking on |app| and send it to me for review and inclusion. See `Development <http://calibre-ebook.com/get-involved>`_.
  2. `Open a ticket <http://calibre-ebook.com/bugs>`_ (you have to register and login first). Remember that |app| development is done by volunteers, so if you get no response to your feature request, it means no one feels like implementing it.
 
+Why doesn't |app| have an automatic update?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For many reasons:
+
+  * *There is no need to update every week*. If you are happy with how |app| works turn off the update notification and be on your merry way. Check back to see if you want to update once a year or so.
+  * Pre downloading the updates for all users in the background would mean require about 80TB of bandwidth *every week*. That costs thousands of dollars a month. And |app| is currently growing at 300,000 new users every month.
+  * If I implement a dialog that downloads the update and launches it, instead of going to the website as it does now, that would save the most ardent |app| updater, *at most five clicks a week*. There are far higher priority things to do in |app| development.
+  * If you really, really hate downloading |app| every week but still want to be upto the latest, I encourage you to run from source, which makes updating trivial. Instructions are :ref:`here <develop>`.
