- Create empty books (book entries with no formats) in Calibre for audiobooks, podcasts, lecture/interview audio files, and even video files (e.g., for books adapted to the silver screen).
- Populate the metadata for each empty book file. FYI, you can even include in the metadata a url to the online location where you can stream the audio/visual file.
- Use Calibre Cloud to access your Calibre library via your mobile device.

I want to access all my books in one place, so it's Calibre Companion for me. I want to be able to access the books at any time too, so I want them on my device.
