The need to copy the whole Calibre database outside of Calibre, is a bit of a killer, which I presume means syncing regularly. But CS is useful if CC doesn't get fixed. So I might use the "Smart Device" but only send a couple of books at a time. This last comment in case any others are contemplating CS without cloud Calibre.

I use Syncthing to keep my Calibre Library on my PC synched with Calibre Library on my android phone. I use CS as an eBook browser on my phone.

I just switched to Syncthing-Fork for android as it seems to work a little better with recent versions of Android OS.

Syncthing is much faster at wireless transfer than any variation of Calibre and Calibre Companion that I have used in the last 10 years or so.

Well I just downloaded the iOS version and really like it...

But two issues that I have emailed the help email about but no answer yet.

First, I have created custom "read" columns for me and my wife. They are detected when I go to set them up but even with the two way data option it still comes back as read even when I mark them as unread in CS and vice versa. If anyone has this working a) How do you mark them read/unread if not via the CS swipe and b) what's your secret?

Second, tried to setup a custom date read column but even though I have the correct column and data type CS keeps popping up the attached dialog.

I even tried deleting the app off my iPhone and redownloading everything but that didn't fixit either one of these issues. Sigh.
