Dropboxįirst, download it, if you haven’t already. So here’s what I did, and it may seem obvious to you, but not everyone knows Calibre, Dropbox, or this whole neat trick, and that’s who I’m writing it for…heck, I didn’t think of this until after I realized I just couldn’t fit my library in my Dropbox. I’m not so sporadic with my reading that I can’t choose 12 or 20 books to keep on my iPad at a time on the off chance that I’ll want to read something right then and there.My Dropbox currently has 4.4Gb 13.4Gb of total space, which is only about 25% of still doesn’t hold my entire eBook library.There are just two problems with that setup for me: = I’ve also written a follow-up article: Advanced Dropbox + CalibreĮvery article I’ve read on the topic of combining Dropbox and Calibre, the best eBook library manager ever, is to just use Dropbox to house your library in a public, yet secret folder, then you make an index file that you can access from anywhere to download whatever you want to read from your library.

UPDATE (6OCT2017): This method is not affected by the Apple and Calibre updates that remove connecting through iTunes. So how do I manage my vast library and not completely fill up my Dropbox? Now I have them stored on a hard drive, and backed up weekly, along with many other things, using the “3,2,1” method ( more on that another time). I love books, I love to read them, and I used to have shelves upon shelves of them before the greatest downsizing in the history of the world. So many, that I may, in fact, have a problem and need to attend some kind of meetings.
