As previously mentioned, I got really tired of being unable to investigate a new book to read on my Nook.

So I bought a Lenovo Yoga 10" tablet which I'm hoping won't be too large to use as a reader. My plan is to use Calibre's search functions on the Lenovo to find my next book to read. Probably that could involve a little data massage because data always needs tweaking.

My destop computer is the best place to do major data massages, metadata updates, etc. because the screens are nice and large and I can open up lots of columns.

Both computers are on the same home network, but there's nothing truly multi-user about Windows networking. I've heard of putting the Calibre database on Dropbox but wonder how secure that is. I'll be using the same database sequentially, not at the same time.

Recommendations?
