Hi everyone,
This is my first posting here so apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. I have searched using Google for a similar topic and most of the answers were similar to but not exactly the same as what I am needing.
After finally giving up on the pathetic iBooks reader offered by Apple, I am now using Calibre to organize my very large E-book library consisting of epub, cbr, cbz, and pdf files.
What I am trying to do now is to (a) organize my books into different series like Dragonlance, Game of Thrones, Star Wars, etc and (b) organize the books in each series in the chronologic order that the stories take place within their respective fictional universes.
Now, I did discover an option to create a custom column in Calibre, allowing me to number the books. However, when I sync these to a reader on my iPad (in this case, Marvin 3), I don't see the customized numbered order or an option to order them by that custom order column.
What I am wanting to know is, what is the best solution for me to (a) organize books within calibre according to the order I want to read them and (b) have them on my iPad with ability to sync books over the internet?
The best solution would be an e-book reader for iOS that reads all of the formats I mentioned above, or at least one that reads epub, cbr, cbz formats. Also, I need a good over-the-internet sync solution. Dropbox only gives me 2GB and my e-book library is already getting close to 10Gb in size.
Thanks in advance for any solutions. Specifics will be much appreciated.
