Hi,

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I'm new to Calibre and have some questions and suggestions.

- I really love Plex, I use it manage all my video, music and photos with it so I can watch everything on all my devices. It would be great if we could have a plugin for Plex so we can connect our Calibre library with it. (Maybe you could even work together with them so we can have it fully integrated)
- It would be great if we could have a better server webclient so we can manage our library through that client. I mostly use my ipad but it's a pain in the *** to edit my library through Teamviewer. It would be nice if we could edit some information about our books online if our server is running or let our server convert some books on the fly through the server web client.
- It would be great if we could have native apps on Android and iOS to browse through our library and read those books in that same app. Now I'm using the web browser to download a book and open it in two different apps (one for comics and one for books).
- It would be nice if we could sync bookmarks using the calibre server (this will only work in the native apps I think)
- It would be a nice feature if we could share only specific sections of our library with some friends

This is my vision for a perfect library system:
Calibre and Plex integrate with each other. Our metadata gets downloaded automatically when we add new books. The Plex clients allow us to sync bookmarks over all our devices, it could detect the device we use our client on and select automatically the best conversion of the book for that specific device and even convert it when we ask to download that book.

What do you think about this? Do you think this is something that can/will happen in the future?

Sincerely,
Bart
