View Calibre listings in secondary device

jenrar · 07-31-2014, 06:37 PM

Hi all,

First, I'm not sure this is in the right place, but I couldn't figure out where best to post. If I need to move it, please let me know.

Second, I'm not sure the title of the post is entirely correct, but I don't know how else to phrase it. Here's what I want to be able to do and I'm trying to figure out if it's possible, and if so, how.

I would love to sync my listings up to my phone/tablet so I can go through my list of books on there. By listings, I mean the actual list of books I have with all the info (title, author, metadata, cover, category, etc). I don't need/want all my actual library of books (all the mobi & jpg files, etc) on my phone/tablet. Just the database that I can look through to look at my list of books. I have so many that I forget what I have, so when I want to find something to read, I have to be at the computer and open Calibre and start scrolling. If I could open it up on my tablet and scroll through, that would be great.

Is there some way to do that? A plugin or app or something, maybe?

TIA!

Basically, you want a catalog?

Yes! That's it. I knew I'd seen a way, but for the life of me, I couldn't remember. Thank you very much!
