(Of course, another full copy of the library may also be stored/mirrored elsewhere, so that the primary cloud copy is not the only full copy of the library, in case of a catastrophe befalling the cloud provider. That's why I'm asking @skillachie to make it possible for us to keep backups of our library – or at least of selected BookFusion shelves – in Dropbox or Drive alongside the in-house cloud storage provided by BookFusion.)
The reverse way – for main storage to be local, and trying to keep it in sync with all devices using a cloud/syncing service (let alone manual wifi/Bluetooth connections) strikes me as a "20th century way of doing things".

Personally I agree with you in this. I too would like a "Calibre in the Cloud". But I can manage with a local copy, if need be, as Calibre is indispensable for me and there is nothing comparable to it, free or paid.

My thanks to @skillachie (for mentioning that BookFusion is, in fact, available on e-ink devices running Android) and especially to @Sirtel, without whose ravings about e-ink readers in this thread it would certainly not occur to me to purchase another e-ink reader at this point.
