I will suggest that you buy/try the Marvin and/or the Gerty app for IOS.

You can transfer books from Calibre to either of those apps like this: (here I repeat myself from an earlier post)


You can transfer books from Calibre to Marvin like this:

In Marvin use Get books > OPDS > Search local network > Calibre library.

You must previously have started the Calibre Server to do this:

In Calibre Connect/Share > Start Content Server.

It also works in 8.3. It will even transfer metadata from Calibre to Marvin.

The only disadvantage is that you can't see those books that are already in Marvin.

You can also simply copy your books to Dropbox and then fetch them in one the mentioned apps.
