Just a thought run amok, GM

That's one of the ideas I thought about. Essentially keeping one Master library and rsyncing it around the network. The big downside to this is that most of the client machines are laptops and are not usually "on" at scheduled times. I could have them sync just before launching Calibre, but that is a "hassle" step that will get the technology looked down on as "cludgy".
But most importantly - where did you get Carbonite Pro for $55 a year!
