Mobile ports?
Hi,
I enjoy using Calibre to organize and browse my ebook collection. In fact, this super app is one of the last remaining desktop applications that I cannot access from a mobile device. When can we expect Android and iOS ports of the basic features to be published? I'm thinking a minimum viable product for Calibre on mobile would involve: * Loading and saving library to cloud storage folder (e.g. Dropbox) * Searching for books in my collection * Launching book viewer (initially third party apps) * Converting between formats I know desktop Calibre includes hundreds of amazing features, but starting with these core capabilities would be a massive improvement to mobile workflows. As a workaround, I basically have to ditch the entire Calibre system and use random websites to convert, then manually organize files in Dropbox, and view with third party apps. I'd like to see more and more of these mobile capabilities offered in an official Calibre app. |

Are you willing to do some of the the work required to convert even a portion of calibre's functionality to run under iOS or Android? If not, the heat death is likely to arrive first.
