And BTW, no one is obligated to respond to your whole message. I specifically responded to the "Go to my Sig" portion of your message because your Sig was on topic for this thread. I pointed out -- and am again pointing out -- that the Dropbox solution for "on the go" doesn't work when there is no Internet connection available. An SD slot, however DOES work when people want to carry their libraries with them.
Am I'm being clear enough now? |

Nobody will go back to the dark ages of only wired data in order to have that SD card slot. Not enough people to make the device appealing at least. So eschwartz was providing a way (in his sig) to make Calibre work when away from home. Plus he was wondering if Crossi would change his mind now that he seen the solution he couldn't find before.
Why are you beeing so stubborn to still insist that eschwartz clearly didn't know what he was talking about?

Thank you, DuckieTigger, for understanding what not everyone seems to get.
I was indeed telling crossi specifically to see my sig, insomuch as he said
in the absence of any way to browse his Dropboxed calibre library by genre and title and so on and so forth he wants an SD card and would happily ditch the wireless in exchange... and my sig explains how to browse a Dropboxed calibre library by title and genre etc.... thus crossi can do so on the go (since that was his stated preference) by reading my sig.
And thus rcentros's statement that not everyone is content to tether themselves to locations with internet is rather disingenuous...
I know what the real problem is. Some people happen to be in the position where they don't want to depend on internet connectivity, and there is nothing wrong with that, they may have very good reasons to be that way...
But, and this is a big but, they go crazy every time someone suggests that they personally have a differing opinion, and start screeching (virtually, in this case,) about how that's not always reasonable, and people need to stop
assuming things, and my recommendation is useless because some people don't have internet while traveling...
and completely neglecting to notice that they are what they just described: a person who finds it literally impossible to comprehend that someone else
DOES have internet while they travel(, which implied fact* was the reason for my offering advice in the first place).
Happens to be, I do agree with rcentros that not everyone can always have internet connectivity everywhere they go... which is an irrelevant point because that is apparently not the case here.
(And because I believe 4 GB is still enough, but that goes back to the beginning of the thread...)
* -- that is to say, crossi clearly said Dropbox was suitable in terms of access, but not in terms of browsing comfortably via folder hierarchy.
