Create Your Own Cloud of Ebooks with Calibre + Calibre OPDS + Dropbox | Dear Author

Your Own Cloud of Ebooks with Calibre + Calibre OPDS + Dropbox

The big movement seems toward ebooks in the cloud but if you go with Google or Kindle or some other service, you are stuck with their rules of access. You can create your own cloud, however, and control your own library. Further, you can set up your cloud for free using open source programs and a free account at dropbox.

This cloud set up allows you to have access, either by webbrowser or by iPhone/iTouch, to your entire ebook catalog from anywhere you can get internet connection, whether by wifi or cellular access.  The catalog generated is incredibly feature rich.  You can browse your catalog by series, tags, author, title, and most recent additions. You can look up a book on Goodreads or check out the wikipage for an author.
