I have been using Calibre Sync for a few months now on my Android phone, after being a long time user of Calibre Companion. I find it very good, with a couple of qualms.

Firstly, I have a big library and it is understandable that the original sync took quite a while. However, I find that every re-sync also takes time, even if there is only one or two new books. Note - I only use CS as a catalogue. I don't download the books themselves. Do others have this issue, or is there a setting I haven't found that tells it to only sync items added in the past xxx days?

And secondly, my content server address in Calibre changes its last digit every couple of days ( y as in xxx.xxx.xx.y, port 8080). I know this is a Calibre matter, but I didn't experience it before I started using CS. It means I have to go into CS's settings every few days to change the address. Has anyone else experienced this? Or is there a setting in Calibre that would allow me to stop it changing the address?

Thanks.
