The hardest part is the wait to upload all the catalog data info to Dropbox. If you've got a lot of books, it takes a while.
You don't need to use Calibre2OPDS. If you leave your PC on, you could just run the Calibre content server which creates OPDS feeds. Bonus with using Calibre server, search function works.
