I was just talking to someone about this! I'll probably bungle their explanation, but from what I understand, Calibre Companion can be downloaded to your android device, and it works like a mirror to your full Calibre library, once you sync it with your full Calibre software. It somehow uses the metadata you have on the main Calibre library to sort them on the device, and if you update info in Calibre, it will update it on your device through Calibre Companion, and you'll be able to open it in whatever reader app you choose.

I'm sure there's loads more to it that flew over my somewhat technologically inept head, but I'm sure if you search the threads for "Calibre Companion", there will be loads of info on the who, what, how, when, etc. I haven't downloaded the companion one yet, but eventually plan to. I'm still acclimating myself to the Tab3. I did finally delete all the other apps I had, and just kept the UB reader app (I have the premium one, it's only about $3.60 right now, on sale). And I still have the kindle app on there, but really, I only ever download free kindle ebooks, so mobi isn't a big thing for me; if you're a mobi heavy user though, I know UB may not be enough to satiate you.
