option 3: maybe instead of , or as well as, mirroring the whole library to cloud, I could use save to disc or connect to folder to place my currently reading books into a dropbox folder, then access that directly from moon.24/7 . Moon can directly see into any dropbox folder. One problem with that is that it will use my save to device template? which manipulates series into title for use on my e-ink readers. I don't really want to see the titles change like that in tablet apps, though I could learn to live with it , I suppose.

one weakness perhaps of the Moon reader shelf for series idea is that is places all the books on a shelf ( presumably in series order though I have not checked) but it does not show the actual series number. i really should test it with series that have numbers like 2.5 etc included for novellas, or a pseudo series number " 103" that I may be using for an omnibus

really, its all just nice to haves to keep the OCD at bay. I don't actually sit and gaze at the shelves much !
i don't rely on tags in moon either, I happened to notice them as a menu option and got to wondering why tags like "romance" were appearing, when I dont use such a tag.

what is a little frustrating is that I already have 2 always-on 24/7 servers ( for plex) on very low-cost-to-run plex servers on Nvidia Shield + USB3 drive setups, but I can't think of any way to add/run a content server on those, as they are android TV devices ;calibre does not "do" android and plex does not " do" books
Jellyfin does books I have never used the option though
