Same as Apache and Sirtel. I use Calibre. The master copy is on my iMac, but I back it up to dropbox and my Drobo drive. I then copy it from dropbox to my laptop. I could keep the master copy in dropbox, but in general, I don't trust cloud storage for such things, plus it's nice to have the multiple back ups for that unfortunate time when the kitten goes prancing across the key board and zaps a bunch of stuff. Since Calibre simply requires you to copy the directory, it's easy to copy to a new computer. I've switch computers multiple times since I started using Calibre way back when it was libprs500, a library manager for the Sony PRS-500 (my first dedicated ebook reader) as a replacement for the awful Sony software. No problems switching machines.
