Calibre for Tablets
Will there ever be a Calibre App for Android tablets? If so any idea when?

Are you familiar with Calibre Companion? That is an app for android tablets which no tablet owner + Calibre user should live without!

Calibre ebook Manager, viewer, and ebook editor will most likely never be ported to Android. That said I agree with booklover6 Calibre Companion (CC) is the best ebook manager for Android. This app allows your Nexus 7 to connect wirelessly to calibre as a device. I have my entire library on my Nexus 7 and use CC to select the book I want to read and launch it in Moon+ Reader Pro (the reading app of my choice).

Thanks to you both!
Thanks to you both. I will get the Calibre Companion. I currently place books that I want to read into Dropbox for transfer to FBreader. This works good as my wife can also get them for her tablet. I would like to at some time eliminate having to use the laptop to process the books before moving to the tablet. Guess not.

Even though I prefer Calibre Companion if you're using Dropbox you might want to investigate the Calibre Cloud App

Or you use the Moon+ Reader Net library (connection) feature to connect to the built-in calibre server to exchange documents.

There are unlimited possibilities for using calibre
