Can you tell me how you manage your Calibre library with the Flyer?

Do you connect to a folder, or let Calibre 'send books to device'? calibre didn't seem to let me 'connect to folder', it just allowed me to 'send to device' or 'send to card'...is there a way i can just connect to a folder so the books can go where i want them?

Is there a way to disable the preinstalled Reader app? or to disable automatic importing?

I have an SD card installed. Last night I sent my Calibre library to the ext-sd but this morning i see all books have been copied to the device as well, and Reader has imported 2 versions of each book (755 books x 2). Would it have been the Reader app that copied the books, or Aldiko?

I think i prefer Aldiko, but is there a reason i should pay $7 for Mantano? Is it $7 'better' than free?

any other tips/tricks for ereading on the Flyer? what font do you find easier on the eyes? what colour scheme?
You cant manage your library with your device (and Calibre)

Calibre is the manager.
You send books kept by the manager (Calibre) to your device.
If you have books on your device and send them again (with any variation in file name or location), you get duplicates. Calibre tells you (2 books) You can right-click and select REMOVE FROM DEVICE (remove the tick for the one you want to leave there).
