I don't really use iBooks so meh. Besides, it's a hassle transferring stuff via cable. I really only do that with my PRS-350 (maybe once every two months so I pretty much transfer as much of my library as the device can hold). The rest of the devices get their stuff via wifi.

*sigh* So true. If you go with any other reader app, then on you're own with regards to transferring books to said app. Oh well, calibre's content server works great with Stanza. I especially love the download all functionality. QuickReader/MegaReader's OPDS support is pretty decent and the option to be able to open downloaded ebooks with other readers is great but the lack of formatting (no support for even bold or italic) is a huge turn-off.
