Don't need to use a browser. Mapleread has OPDS capability to connect to the Calibre server.

My preference for Mapleread is to set the date (sort) to Calibre date as I want the dates order to be insync(?) & convenient. After connection to Calibre, you can then select the book to retrieve; one can "over select" as the "duplicate" won't be retrieved.

The default limit for sending via OPDS on Calibre is 30 books each time but can be changed; the other way is just do pagedown(?) on Mapleread & select more using ctrl-a for each page. Don't know how it would work if you have thousands of books to do the initial load onto the ipad.
