Windows Reader Software supporting connectivity to Calibre "Content Server"
(appollogies of this is the "wrong place" to post this)
In the Android universe: FBReader is my goto software to download titles from my Calibre "Content Server" on the local network only.
(Calibre server has zero access outside of my home network via 'cloud' or 'internet')
I realize there is a Windows edition of FBReader (circa 2010).
The Android edition of FBReader has a nice database functionality that gives the reader an offline sortof "library" management interface to all the titles downloaded from the Calibre "Content Server".
--> Android FBReader maintains "Local Library" of files downloaded from the Calibre "Content Server"
--> Android FBReader "Local Library" includes bookmarks created in various books... progress reading books... books marked "favorites" etc.
What the Windows edition of FBReader does... it does very well!!
(I can appreciate a minimalist 'file-reader-only' application that 'keeps-it-simple').
Windows edition of FBReader is a spartan "ebook file reader only" app.
(like how notepad.exe is a good app for opening text file times like txt/html/xml/etc)
What the Windows edition of FBReader lacks compared to it's Android version... I miss!
-->Windows FBReader opens binary files
-->Windows FBReader does not connect to the Calibre "Content Server"
-->Windows FBReader does not organize files downloaded from the Calibre "Content Server"
Is there anyone familiar with the Android FBReader app... who also knows the limitations in the windows app I describe?
Can anyone speak toward other Windows Programs that **DO** integrate with the Calibre "Content Server"?
Can anyone speak toward other Windows Programs that **HAS** comparable functionality to the Android "Local Library" of files downloaded from the Calibre "Content Server"?
--> Functionality like "Local Library" includes bookmarks created in various books... progress reading books... books marked "favorites" etc.
