I'm taking it for a spin, and so far have these questions/concerns (although some are about the site):
- Genres - only some books display my Genre tags in the web interface (labelled #genre), most don't
- Series info - I saw elsewhere on MR that Series info will be coming soon - hopefully that'll plug into the Calibre plugin somehow?
- Calibre comments - these are often part of the metadata downloaded from GR/Amazon and give a synposis/back-matter text-based description of each book. Without it I'm forced to rely on book covers, which is very frustrating for me - I choose poorly when judging a book by its cover
- Default setting for uploaded books is "public" - found where to change it in Settings, but I'm not comfortable sharing my purchased books publically
- Grid vs table view on the web interface - I'm not a fan of the cover grid view. I want to know what the book's about before I start reading.
My current well-loved setup is using Calibre Companion w/Moon+Reader on my devices to download/sync books and bookmarks. From there, I browse for the next book by a wide variety of tags, including genre, series, author, and title. I also have custom columns set up to match my Goodreads labels which helps find my next read. This service seems to fall pretty short of that experience. The only area where it excels is the web-based reading - that is spot-on.
