That's me, too - except for the stick and consoles. Most of the time I'm looking at a screen, it's my iPad mini or my Kobo H2O. When I need to use a computer, it's usually a netbook - and by virtue of having limited processing power, that's not a good place for me to install Calibre for much beyond having access to its ebook editor.

I only pull out and fire up my full-sized, heavy laptop out when I need to do something that requires mass storage and/or decent horsepower. For me, of late, that generally means downloading purchases with Kindle, importing them into Calibre, cleaning up their metadata, and saving them as EPUBs... and that's just not a daily task. Sometimes it isn't even a weekly one.
