I appreciate your response but it should definitely be clarified within the documentation somewhere if there are 'intended' limitations for the software.
My apologies.

It is worth noting that CC is not a calibre backup mechanism.

I can download the book files but that doesn't assist me in repopulating the 'series' data. Many series, after porting from a directory structure required me to manually research online to fill in the 'series' column.
Then you must be using mobi or pdf, or you haven't changed the setting I mentioned in my last post.

In my last post, I mentioned I was able to save books to a manually via "Save to Disk" but the whole reason I use calibre and CC is to utilize the covers alongside the other metadata. Without that I could just upload it to the cloud and call it a lost cause.
CC uses cover thumbnails, not the actual cover.

If the Android version is more capable then I have no problem switching. I use an iPhone because my wife loves Apple way too much.
I don't know if it is. Testing uploading massive number of books isn't a priority for me.

How many documents can I upload back to my computer at a time? I have already began to do the work from hand but how do you suggest I proceed?
I don't know how many books can be uploaded at once before something goes wrong.

I assume that there isn't another way to get to the files stored by CC? In Android that is easy to do.
