MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - iPad is Superior to Android for Importing Calibre-Organized PDF's (Show Me I'm Wrong)

There was a program called soPDF here on the forums that edited the Meta data from the command line. There is another app, I believe in Java but I forget the name of it.

I had written a script file that updated the Meta data based on the file name. It had a batch feature that converted all the files.

Personally I think you're doing it wrong. I mean what a pain to have to copy every file over to each device you use. You lose the power of calibre's file management as well. There is nothing easier and more powerful than using calibre's ODPS web server. Simply point your device to the web page and search for the file using calibre's search engine and tag based system. Once found download the book to whatever device you want, be it Android, kindle,nook, iPod, iPad,etc....

Montano and Moon+ integrate odps web severs very nicely to their products.
