2G free plus 3G for referrals and 250M for walking through the Getting Started tab make the final amount of free space possible 5.25G.
But you are right Dropbox isn't a solution that will work for everyone. I have 4 machines sync'd via Dropbox (2 at work and 2 at home) and it works great for me. My library is a little over 1100 books and weighs in at 675M so I have a ways to go before this solution will fail me.  |
I didn't delve into the fine print enough to notice that you are rewarded with extra space for inflicting the service on your enemies (I wouldn't recommend it to a friend, myself, for personal and practical reasons.)
I honestly don't know why this is such an issue here, but apparently it is. The job of synchronizing things is not an ebook application's forte; it is the job of a utility designed to synchronize. By far the oldest, most feature rich and adaptable solution is rsync, so that's what I use, and it synchronizes everything, not just ebooks.
For every app to have to provide a way to do this for its data just seems a bit silly to me, and is bound to create headaches as each implements it in a different fashion. I wanted my spreadsheets and documents sync'd, too, but I never expected OpenOffice to try to handle it... See my point? That's all I was pointing out, that this problem can, and has been solved with much more robust and applicable solutions.
