The reason I like CC so much is because I can easily flip through my books by tag, author, series, and/or other criteria and find something to read without having to go back to Calibre to do it. I bought the CC app through the Amazon app store, so I’ve been able to install it on all my android devices. I use CC to keep my Calibre library synced between an android phone, a couple of android tablets, three kindle fire tablets, and my computer. The vast majority of my books do not come from Amazon, so I’ve chosen to consolidate my library in Calibre instead of just using the various retailer apps. My ebook library is about 2400 books at the moment. However, I definitely wouldn’t mind it working with USB instead of a wireless only connection that it currently requires to sync my books. I’m hoping nothing really changes, because it works well for me now. Now strikes me as a good time to try it and post a review. I own a copy of Calibre Companion (I bought it in 2014, actually) but I can’t say that I ever really used it.

I will remain involved with calibre and will continue to hang out in this CC forum, commenting when I think I add value. We hope that you will be as supportive of Sam as you have been of us. We very much appreciate all the comments, complements, and criticisms you took the time to give us. Steve and I thank all of you for your encouragement and support over the last 7 years (has it really been that long?). Sam is very excited about taking over the projects and reviving active CC development on both iOS and Android. For that reason we decided to pass the CC project to another developer, Sam Cohen The transfer has started and will complete over the next few days. That said, neither of us want to leave CC unloved. The reasons are diverse but can be summarized as 'Life Happens'.

I just read over at MobileRead that the app has a new developer by the name of Sam Cohen.ĬC’s former developers announced the change a couple weeks ago:Īs many of you have noticed, neither Steve nor I have been actively developing CC for quite some time. This is a paid app for Android and iOS that you can use to wirelessly download ebooks from your calibre library to your mobile device. It is a great way to manage your ebook library, and it was a great tool even back when it was called libPRS500.īut I am not sure quite so many people are as familiar with Calibre Companion. I am sure everyone here is familiar with calibre, the free and open-source ebook library management tool.
