User Reviews

I love this app and highly recommend it. I was able to sync my entire Calibre library of 33,000+ books from OneDrive in less than TWO minutes! The layout is perfect and I appreciate being able to tap on the author’s name to see all their books and the series name to see all the books in the series.
