I don't really keep up to date on Apple things, I don't have one.... Are you saying libimobiledevice is still broken?

Otherwise I can just upload those books on my owncloud account and the import them into iBooks or Marvin.

But would you recommend the Marvin reader. Is it better than iBooks?
As you discovered, there is also the content server.

Yes, Marvin is supposed to be vastly superior. And not just because of calibre integration.

[/QUOTE]I will drop an email to the developer of Marvin maybe he can add this functionality.


So now I think I know how this works. You have to choose OPTS not calibre. There you can search for calibre server over wifi.
Little bit confusing for first time users.
I will try it when I am at home.[/QUOTE]

You got it.
