I will look for calibre cloud thanks [UPDATE: that looks to be exacly what I need, as I already have the entire library on dropbox . I am grabbing that from google store & will get it onto the Kindle via the downloader link I posted before ]
I considered the "put all books on tablet" option but could not see how to then keep the tablet library in sync with my main PC calibre library; because If I change any covers, metadata , tags etc I do all that via the PC. so I figured just have what I am actually reading on the tablet, & let the library live only on PC, with it's regular backup to a drop box folder ( using freefile sync to one-way sync my calibre library into my local dropbox folder
UPDATE 2 - so I got the free version of calibre cloud onto kindle & it is just what I needed. Very nice app.
But once again, I find that I can't do the "right thing" and actaully buy the pro version for Kindle - because it is not in Amazon store & my via-google trick does not work for paid apps.
What a strange world it is when you are blocked from supporting the devloped by making a legal purchase onto the device of your choice
