I have a Calibre Library that covers a Kindle, a Sony T-1 and a Sony PRS-350. So there are a few books in it. In order to limit what i have on my Readers and to be able to access my library without being home I want to move it to the Cloud (Box.com to be more precise). I have copied my Calibre-library folder to Box.com and I have mapped that address to a virtual drive in Windows, so it now shows up in Explorer. I have then used Calibre's Library Management tool to accept the new Library (in the Cloud) as my main library. Every action now takes more time, but that is countered by the convenience of knowing I have easy access to it.

However, the Readers use, as you all know, different file formats. Is there some way I can convert on the fly if that need should appear? Say that I'm not home with my computer, but I'm on the road with my ASUS Transformer or only my HTC Desire (both Android), is there some app that will allow me to pick an epub book from my library and open it in my Kindle? Assuming I for some reason have only brought my Kindle along.

To take this a little step further, would it be possible to bookmark the last page I read in the Kindle, and then when I come home and want to continue in a Sony Reader to pick up where I left?
