Product description
This free version of Calibre Companion is fully functional,
but limited to 20 books on your device. Upgrade to the full version to
remove the limit.
Calibre Companion (CC), recommended by calibre developers, is three applications in one:
- a superb device-based calibre library organizer
- a high-performance WiFi-based calibre device emulator
- a client that can download books from calibre content servers and calibre libraries stored in the cloud.
1)
CC is a device-based calibre library organizer. Once you put books on
your device using one of the connection methods described below you can:
- view a book's metadata (author, tags, series, rating, dates, etc.).
- sort and group books by their metadata.
- see book lists by cover or by list.
- mark books read and sync this information with calibre.
-
launch your book reader application to read a book (works with most
reader applications except for Amazon Kindle for Android used on
non-Fire devices).
2) CC can connect to calibre over WiFi and be
detected by calibre as a device. Once connected, you use calibre to move
books to and from your device. Calibre automatically updates all the
book metadata stored by CC to match the latest in your library. No other
app, reader or browser, offers this level of integration with calibre.
3)
CC can connect to calibre’s content server over WiFi to browse your
library and download books to your device. It can also download books
from calibre libraries stored in the cloud (several providers).
For more information see our FAQ (http://cc_faq.multipie.co.uk/)
Notes:
1) CC is not a reader app. You must install and use one of the many excellent reader apps available.
2)
CC requires that you use calibre calibre 0.9.02 or later, available at
http://calibre-ebook.com/. Some CC features such as syncing book read
information require newer versions of calibre.

Permissions explanation:
-
Allow Wi-Fi multicast reception: multicast is required to be able to
find calibre without requiring you to enter an IP address.
- Users
with Jellybean (Android 4.1): You will also see a permission about “Test
access to protected storage”. This is caused by a change Android is
making regarding SD card access, and simply means our app can save books
on your external storage.
