Is there a fully fledged Calibre planned for the Android platform
Hi, does anyone know if there is a fully fledged version of Calibre planned for the Android platform, it would be a great addition to the list of Calibre products as most current readers out there are rubbish, with limited functionality in areas such as recognising a series of books or book management.
I suspect a great many other Calibre loyalists would be more than happy to pay for a decent eBook software program for Android. Please save us Kovid. |

There is no plan for an Android version. I use Calibre Companion (CC) Android app to connect my Android device to calibre and manage my books on my tablet. CC handles searching and sorting using all metadata from calibre. I simply find the book I want to read and launch it in my favorite Android reading app.

As well as Calibre Companion, there's also, Calibre Cloud, Calibre Leger and Calibre Library apps. I don't use any of them so I cant speak to their efficacy.
Companion tends to be favoured hereabouts, because the developer (chaley) is also a major and ongoing contributor to the main Calibre program that runs on Windows, OSX and Linux. BR |
