So I am reading...I can keep my calibre main library on a Windows Tablet and I don't need a regular desktop or laptop except for backups, correct? If so, I can convert book format, read books, and mess with metadata on said tablet? Not like android devices where there's only calibre companion?
Please help me get this figured out before this old beast dies!
Yes, you can do all the things you can on a regular computer, if it's a full Windows (supports desktop programs). As for backup, you don't need a desktop or a laptop for that. You can use an external hard drive, or even better, more than one. They work very well with a Windows tablet.
