I recently started a thread about getting a Kindle, but using Calibre exclusively, or as exclusively as possible. I'm thinking about getting the Oasis 3. I have a Mac. Can anyone tell me what it's like to avoid the amazon store all together? Does your entire collection sync between Calibre and the device, or do you just move over what you need? How seamless/hassle free is it to do?

Basically, wondering what my experience will be like using it.
