Hi Hugo,

I´m myself in the middle of transition between comicrack and calibre (MyReadings made me change my opinion about what software to use). I think we can help each other.

I´ve installed comicvine calibre plugin but I have a few problems: the comicvine plugin doesn´t find metadata if I´m searching more than 1 comic in a row, I have to go one by one and, to make things worse, almost always it needs the "comicvine id". In this sense, Comicrack works much better.
Calibre has some advantages too: I have pending to review the CBC calibre format http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/conv...ok-collections. Looks interesting.
Other solution is a software conversion from Comicrack .xml to Calibre .opf, I tried to change the extension but didn´t works

. Anyone knows a valid way to do it?

To orden my comic library with Comicrack is easier, but Comicrack in no way provides a server integration with nas. Calibre, MyReadings and my nas DS411j does, it´s a perfect combination. I want to keep my comics in DS411j with metadata and I want to read it from my ipad without connect any cable, is it so difficult?

Let me know your opinions, it seems we are in the same situation (and sorry for my english).
