Aside from zero support or communication from the dev, and some weirdness with the series numbers, Calibre Cloud Pro does this very well. I thought it would be cool if this app would do it because I really love supporting apps that have active and responsive developers. I've already paid for Calibre Companion and I have no regrets, but for a cloud connect interface I'd be willing to make a further donation to support an excellent service. If it can't be done, I still do really enjoy the wireless device feature, that is super neat and I wish my Kindle did it. |
I keep my Calibre library in dropbox, but I also have my entire library on my Nexus 7 as well - why not do both if you have room? Any meta data I update in Calibre automatically gets updated on my tablet when I connect wirelessly so it's always in sync and I can also update my read column from Calibre Companion. If I am using my phone away from home I can download a book to it using the content server thru Calibre Companion . I guess I can't see what Calibre Cloud does that Calibre Companion doesn't except I Calibre's content server.
