I have several thousand eBooks and I can select any one of them wherever I happen to be without jumping through "cloud" hoops.
What advantage do others see? I can find none.
Hey DarkScribe,

it's as Jessica Writes. Readmill is more than just a reading app. We're trying to create a community where readers & authors can come together to read, discuss, review etc. For that we've chosen to store peoples books on our service, which for the average user easier than having to use Dropbox/Calibre, but for power users like you maybe it's not the right choice. Happy to listen to feedback and make things better though!

Henrik
