This is my totally simplistic method to maintain a reading list. Calibre is needed on only 1 device; a home network and cloud storage are not required:

- I do all of my searching, tweaking, fine-tuning and decision-making using calibre and the nice large screen and mouse on my desktop.

- I pick 20 good reading candidates in calibre and flag them in a "Read" column with a red "X".

- I do all of my reading using Marvin on my iPad Mini. I use calibre with the iOS-Reader/Marvin-XD plugins to make sure the books are on my iPad Mini.

- After reading a book, I flag it in the "Read" column with a green "checkmark". When my list gets down to 5 books, I add new books to get the list back to 20.

Wash ... Rinse ... Repeat. This procedure makes sure I have an ample supply of "good reads" on my iPad.
