@Turtle91 yes i have used it on my ipad and pc. Its a great app, but not what i was looking for. Let me try too explain. I use calibre as my book management system, all my books are cataloged there. I use cops to provide this info online by opdf or html to any device. Currently i use Marvin as my ebook reader, due to the fact that it is the best book reader and because it connects perfectly with cops and calibre. Now i am not looking for a solution in which i have to upload my calibre data to another app and keep it synchonised or convert it to a ebook-catalog. I am looking for an app that basically uses the metadata from calibre perhaps enhanced by extra data. Marvin already has a beautiful library screen, with lots of functionality. That together with a offline catalog on the ipad is basically what i am looking for. Kris called it a Virtual Bookshelf, i like that concept.
Next to reading books i like the search for that next book that will captivate me. By having the info with me i can do this search in a book store, or on the train or ... CLZ Books could do all that if it was tightly integrated with Calibre, but it has its own catalog/cloud. Keeping different catalogs in sync is not my strong suit, i always end up with them being out of sync.
Hope this clarifies things a bit, i tried all the suggestions in the previous posts, they ended up being a lot of work.
