My iOS Calibre Companion wish list feature is the ability to download only metadata and not the actual epub files.
I use Marvin and have no problem accessing an epub file (once I choose one to read). The problem is that I need to go to Calibre on my computer to see all of the books (and my reading list, my wish list, etc.) in order to choose my next book to read. I was hoping that iOS Calibre Companion would allow us to see/browse/organize our ebooks without actually having those files on our device (somewhat similar to Pocketpedia by Bruji). This way I could browse my reading list and choose my next book to read (even if travelling or away from my computer) and I could see a list of books I already own or my wish list when visiting a bookstore.
I’m not sure if it is possible to implement this feature or if it is a worthwhile feature for everyone (or only those like me who have purchased an iPad with, regrettably, a very small amount of disk space!). But I find that because I can keep so few actual ebook files on my device, I’m not really benefitting from the cool features this app (like searching by custom column, collections, etc.) because I rely on using cloud connection to download just the next book or two I intend to read.
I know you guys are busy with new jobs and fixing bugs that are way more important than new features, but I thought I would post here because I haven’t seen anyone mention it before and it would really be such a useful feature for me. I’m curious if others would benefit from this as well.
Thank you guys for all of your hard work!! And good luck in your new jobs (I’ve been following these threads for a while but never made an account until today).
