Hi,

I don't see the reason why Calibre "MUST" account for every file on my device. Why not let this be an option, i.e. using Calibre on my Xoom is a one-way relationship from Windows/Calibre to Xoom? I have THOUSANDS of mp3 files on my device; why on earth should Calibre even try to find these files? I JUST WANT IT TO MANAGE MY BOOKS!

I am SO frustrated trying to get some SANE way to get my ENTIRE Calibre library onto my Xoom tablet. This is proving impossible, since Leger Calibre no longer seems to work (the ONLY Android app that uses Calibre metadata files).

So unhappy....

Ron
