Hello there!

My first post, because I got my first eReader – Kobo Aura H2O. I do not have hundreds of books yet and so far all are open ePubs. I keep them in Dropbox and copy to Kobo with Finder.

I see most of you use Calibre, but wanted to ask, are there some other nice alternatives for Mac OS which you use and/or can suggest? Not necessary free ones, but good ones.

What I would like to have is just a little sexy app to keep in (or have linked to) all my ebooks and transfer some to my Kobo.
I do not need tags, ratings, filtering, editing functionality, formats conversion, so Calibre seems a bit overkill. I don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings, but Calibre’s GUI is also not something I would enjoy using. And it doesn’t seem to work properly on my system…

Thank you very much for suggestions!
