I prefer the "old-fashioned" way when I'm home, connecting directly to Calibre, because I prefer the additional options for sorting by series, genres, etc. I can even have Calibre pick a random book right there in Marvin. (And I know I can do the same thing with "Shuffle".) But I also love having my Calibre library on Dropbox for those times that I'm not near my computer, so I can access them from anywhere. Best of both worlds, IMHO.

I tested but didn't keep the OPDS catalog on Marvin, though, in part because I'd read about Dropbox canceling accounts. The directions I'd seen for generating one (not with Marvin, but in general) involved putting the Calibre library in the "public" folder in Dropbox - mine isn't in the public folder. The references to canceled accounts were also about "calibre2opds" - I'm not informed enough to know if that's the same as the OPDS catalog that's generated by adding opds to the end of my Calibre library address in Marvin as mentioned above. I did just try it, and it worked, and I'd love to use it. I think it's just connecting to Calibre on my computer - when I closed my laptop I could no longer access the OPDS catalog from Marvin. Just want to be sure before I re-do it and leave it there. Don't want Dropbox canceling me!

Any advice?
