I'm still on the hunt for the perfect ereading app and so far, it isn't happening. I like reading on Kindle, but the android app doesn't allow for organization. I have almost 1000 books right now, so this a problem for me. On my laptop, I use calibre to keep everything neat and then just open the book in Kindle. I'm looking for something similar for my tablet.

I purchased CC and as far as connecting and downloading go, it works like a dream. However, if my laptop is off or if I don't have Calibre up and running on it, then CC doesn't work. Is there no way to see the metadata of books I've downloaded on my tablet without the laptop on? This is not convenient for me if I'm at school and can't decide what to read. That's what I rely on the metadata for!
