Hello folks,

So after a lot of deliberation, I ordered 64GB iPad 1 (refurbished) yesterday and it will arrive in about a week. My question here is, is there any app that can manage my whole Calibre library (about 2000 books + articles, most of them are pdfs). I love Calibre and though not as fast as I would like, it does the job exactly as I want, specifically with tagging books and articles, so I find it super easy to find the book or article I want in this rather big library.

I went through this forum and other members have suggested apps like GoodReader, Stanza or Kindle for reading and sometimes managing pdfs. (BTW, Stanza doesn't work on my Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit machine) What is not very clear to me is, which of these (or other apps) support tagging, as it is one of the 'most important' feature I will be looking for, otherwise it will take a lot of time for me to find the book or article that I want to read.

In nutshell, is there any iPad app that will mirror my Calibre library?

Many thanks for your input.
