@joeo10 Glad you’re doing better. Lots of allergens around here at the moment.
@larand I do that now! The extra bit is that each time I put a book in Calibre, I make an extra copy of the file in a separate folder in Dropbox that I use for iBooks. It’s handy having it in Dropbox because iCloud doesn’t usually manage to make the books available to my iPad.
The wifi is turned off on the Kobo. I couldn’t see an advantage to me in using battery power up sending info to Kobo on my reading habits.

@skematica iBooks removed all the books from my Calibre library the first time I used it. I had to restore it from my backup & now copy my books to another folder & don’t let iBooks near the master library.

@kdfrawg It’s awfully easy to think things will always be the way they are now & to forget how short a time they’ve been that way.

@kdfrawg I absolutely agree overall. There are just one or two specific tasks that end up being easier for me on iOS, but in general, if it’s within reach, I use the MBP for practically everything apart from taking photos or looking at weather reports. I think we have broadly the same view on the Apple ecosystem as well: it has its faults, but the alternatives are worse.

@jws I’d work on that if I travelled more. For now there’s no particular reason to do much on iOS, though there are one or two odd things it does better just because someone happens to have written an app that matches what I want to do.

@jws I’ve tried them, but I don't want to have to carry a keyboard in my pocket.
// @streakmachine @kdfrawg
@kdfrawg Input is one area that suffers, but another is the ease of having multiple apps or documents available and transferring things between them. I don’t particularly find myself restricted by its output capabilities, but that may be because I rarely do anything on it that I want to output.
