Best solution for wireless transfer?
Hi all:

Newbie here. I'm going to be getting the Forma or Libra soon. I'm wondering about the best way to wirelessly transfer books (epub) from my computer or online storage to the devices. I understand that they don't natively offer this support (although I read Libra can use Dropbox). Any tips on doing this are appreciated.

Question: for this to work, it looks like Calibre has to be open and the content server started at all times, correct?

Follow up question:

How easy is it to set up on a Diskstation and connect that way?

Thanks!

Actually, it's the other way around. Forma has dropbox support, Libra doesn't.

Got it. Thanks. I'm getting both tomorrow to test out. Wasn't sure which size I'd like better.
