It serves up a gorgeous looking version of your calibre catalog by reading the metadata.db that you have on a cloud based service like Dropbox or GDrive.

There are two existing problems. First, for the MOBI versions, there is an open in problem. It automatically defaults to MoonReader+ which I don't like. I've emailed the developer about that.

Second, the metadata.db does not sync with dropbox until I've quit dropbox and restarted it. I've read some threads about running scripts (which is kind of beyond me unless someone can help me out with an Automator script which I suppose is possible - sense a change in the calibre library folder and it restarts Calibre) but I wondered if there was a simpler solution.

Any ideas?
Calibre Cloud Pro ??????????????

That is not a part of this Calibre
