Edge & Calibre workflow

I just wanted to share what I believe to be a very efficient way to get your calibre-organized content from your computer to your Edge.

Ingredients: calibre for computer, Leger calibre app for edge, dropbox for computer, dropbox app for edge, dropsync app for edge

1) create a second library in calibre that is located in your computer dropbox folder (use submenu of library icon)
2) copy the books that you want on your edge to this library (again through the submenu of the library icon)
3) create a folder on your SDcard where you want the books to appear
4) use dropsync to synchronize this folder with the calibre library in your edge dropbox folder
5) point Leger calibre to the synchronized folder

(+) When working on your computer you can easily decide and organize the content that will appear on your edge once you open it up.
(+) When opening Leger calibre on the Edge and long-clicking the books, you can decide with which application to read them, and thus if you want to read on the e-ink side or on the tablet side. In fact it is almost as good as having the books in the edge Library folder (maybe one could even try to use the edge Library folder in step 3, but I have not tried that)
(-) I still have to figure out a good way to control calibre on my computer through the edge in case I want to do modify content from my edge, maybe through androidVNC ...

Any comments ?
