Backups may work but are problematic by their nature. It is only a matter of time before everything is lost. I have hundreds of ebooks in each of my 3 libraries, 2 associated with my Google Play Books accounts, and 1 with my Amazon account.įor me, it is critical all my ebooks be stored in the Cloud and are available on all my devices all the time. My home-related ebooks are associated with my home-related Gmail account. My work-related ebooks are associated with my work-related Gmail account.

I have Amazon ebooks, epub, and PDF ebooks. Until that happens (I think we will be stuck with several apps with their own DRM and syncing mechanism). But it's unlikely that Amazon would allow personal ebook inventory to be listed by a third party application, if only for privacy reasons. If a solution comes which will bridge the gap between Amazon and the other digital book sellers, I expect that several big publishers would work together to make a central ebook management app which can display titles in each DRM universe and then launch the correct app if you want to open a certain ebook up. But you need to manually generate the spreadsheet each time. I know more about librarything, and know that you can store your inventory spreadsheets which you can sync via Dropbox. One solution (a not-so-good one) is to keep your metadata on librarything or goodreads. But I think it's still better to keep pdfs and epubs on separate apps. It's possible to use the same app for encrypted PDF and epub (like the Adobe Digital Editions). I don't think there is a way to export your metadata from one library management system into another, especially if you are talking about encrypted stuff. That means you are going to be spreading your content into three different apps. In fact, the Kindle app is really the only tool for viewing and syncing purchased content.įor me, any tablet I have contains the Adobe app (or Bluefire app) for storing Adobe DRM stuff, the Kindle app (for storing Kindle DRM stuff) and the Google app (for storing epubs - encrypted and nonencrypted). The real question is DRM I assume that you are not talking about moving books bought on Amazon because those can't be transferred by memory card. Yes, I have been calling for something similar for a few years now :) No really needed, because Kindle app is ubiquitous, but I would like to have one central place to organize my ebooks collection. Need to find a way to push my ebooks with DRM to calibre. But right now I use the same machine for adding new stuff, so is is fine. Possible conflict between metadata of pc version: I need to investigate if I can have a centralized version of calibre that can received updates from secondary devices. I'll probably change that in order to use a cloud synchroniser tool to mirror my cloud storage to the SDCard and point Calibre Companion to my local storage instead ! The library and the metadata are stored in a specific dir in my filesystem that is synchronized with my local onedrive directory.Īndroid devices are using the Calibre Companion app ($4) and are configured to use my onedrive cloud account.

PC with windows are using the portable version of Calibre. Ok, so here is my current solution, which is not perfect but that corresponds more or less with my current need. If no, what would be the closest thing to my need ?

In addition this central library should be able to integrate with my kindle books and other library system.ĭo you know if such a centralized software exists ?
#Ebook manager leave files alone update#
I would like to have a central library for metadata that I can update from many places, and a way to replicate my ebooks in all my devices, in my favorite location (sd card for Android) so I can read what I want without an internet connection. I also have no way to share my metadata with the table which starts to become my main reading device for pdf. So basically I have many book management systems (Kindle, Calibre) that are synced by cloud, but this is not good for my tablet: Kindle and onedrive are storing the file in internal memory (short) while I have a big sd card. The drive is synced to my onedrive account, so I can access my books from every browsers and thank to portable Calibre install, I can even run calibre from any windows machine. Right now I'm using Calibre on the laptop, because it was my main device. What I have read, not read, what's next, short comments, rating. What I miss is a way to centralize and share metadata around those books:
#Ebook manager leave files alone android#
I have one laptop, one kindle, one android tablet and one main PC.įor the reader part, I'm fine with what I have: kindle for novel, adobe pdf reader for windows PC and laptop and a good reader for the tablet. My collection is a mixture of ebooks from Amazon (Kindle) and pdf. So I have a reasonable collection of ebooks, and it starts to be a mess.
