Or skip the iPad and use some other device. Perhaps even one that can run calibre. Perhaps even a laptop or a hybrid laptop/tablet. That may or may not be an alternative depending on how important it is to be able to edit the metadata in calibre on/from the reader device compared to how important it is to keep using an iPad.
Yeah, iPad mini fits in my purse & is available to me for reading/downloading/etc. 100% of the time I needed, vs. the PC at about 30% of the times. So, yeah, I need an iPad solution.

I hadn't thought to remote into the PC, that has promise...
