Well, the Pocketbook iOS app bugged out on me one too many times last night, so based on this and the thread below I tried the free Mapleread app to check out the interface. This morning I bought the “collection” of both apps, although I’m not sure I need more than SE.
I’m still learning some of the Calibre bits, but even so I’ve managed to hook up my iPad Air, iPad Mini, and iPhone all to Calibre OPDS server, download some of my books, and confirm that the reading progress and “Sets” syncs between devices as I’d like it to.
Most importantly. . . The app doesn’t crash and go into a totally unusable failure mode for over 2 minutes just because I accidentally let the iPad go to sleep with a book open.
So far I’m happy with the way Mapleread works for syncing and Calibre, it’s definitely an improvement over Pocketbook and Kindle for iOS. Plus once I get my Calibre library sorted out (so.many.series.to.fix.) it should be a lot easier to maintain my library of books acquired from multiple (legal) non-Amazon sources.
