Secondly, I would like to synchronise my ebook library with my SD card to read on my DR1000. However the calibre folder structure is unsuitable for the DR as it involves way too many clicks to navigate. (My solution was to write a second program that synchronises my calibre DB with my DR1000.)
These are the kind of issues that causes me not to test the Calibre GUI (I have used the command line programs). I also want to use other programs to edit meta data and I do not see how that would work conveniently when you have copies of your book.
