I'm using Filebrowser to grab books from my PC and I'm pretty content with it. I can browse all of my PC's folders and use the 'Open With' command to bring a book into either Bluefire or iBooks (or any other reader that uses 'Open With'.
I can see two issues, neither of which is a big deal to me:
- You can't 'Open With' on a list of books, only one at a time. Filebrowser does let you select a list of files and copies them into its own filespace, so you can grab copies to take with you.
- If you use Calibre then you're not able to browse the titles of books, you'll see them the way Calibre renames and organizes them. Not an issue for me, as I don't use Calibre to organize my library for exactly that reason. I'm not dissing calibre, it's a fantastic application. I just strongly prefer to manage my own files. So this ends up not being an issue for me for Filebrowser use.
