Description
"100 Best Android Apps of 2019" - PCMag(https://www.pcmag.com/article/362295/the-100-best-android-apps)
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 calibre content server and cloud provider (Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and Amazon Cloud Drive) client
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 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.
3) CC can connect to calibre’s content server or to your cloud provider to browse your library and download books to your device. Cloud providers currently supported: Dropbox, Box, Microsoft OneDrive, and calibre libraries on the device or on an SD card.
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.
A free demo version of CC is available in the Google Play store. Install and test with that version if you have concerns that CC won't work on your network or isn't what you need. To get it, go to http://www.multipie.co.uk/calibre-companion/ and click the button for the demo version (links to Google Play don't work here).
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.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew
4 ★The app is a bit clunky but it does work. The only real downside is that you can't add new books to your library through this app or the iOS app. Through this app, you can only manage the books that are already in your library. Anything new has to be uploaded through the calibre-desktop application. Add an upload feature and it becomes a 5 * app.
2 ★Why do I need to "download" books already on my SD card? My whole Calibre library is automatically synced with my phone. I bought this app expecting it to serve as a sort of browser for my ebooks already on my SD card, but it's making me nonsensically download a duplicate which I don't want to do. The interface isn't particularly stunning either...
5 ★This is an awesome program for creating your personal library. I really like the myriad forums that have helped me solve a number of problems. It is constantly improved and new features added. There are a huge number of plugins that can help you build and maintain your library. Highly recommend!
3 ★Normally 5 starts but newest update messed up the dark mode. Now when I click the grouping drawer everything is lined with white. Super ruins my light sensitive eyes and app experience. I tried leaving message on the forum but it wouldn't let me do it from my phone.
5 ★Certainly there is always room to improve, but its impressive features make it already the best in the category - as is Calibre itself. Keep up the (very) good work!
1 ★I feel cheated! Cannot connect with Dropbox, or the files on my microsd. This is a clunky, un-userfriendly app, that does not work - and I cannot seem to get my money refunded.
5 ★Works very well with desktop Calibre
5 ★I find the app get useful. One thing I would like, is an option to see if content on the server matches what is downloaded. I use fanficfare to keep several webnovels updated and want an easier way to see if I have the correct updated version on my tablet, metadata compare? And flag any that do not match? Either way still very useful.
5 ★Free fully functional software for transfer, manage, convert and read e-books. All works just perfect. I'm using it more than a year.
5 ★What a fantastic app. Easily syncs everything with my phone. If you use caliber this is a must-have for your phone
4 ★Needs a integrated reader.
3 ★Gets the job done, but a bit tricky to get configured and sync status back to Calibre. Not seemless as needs a lot of manual interaction
