Hi there:

Earlier I posted a thread about how to get my Calibre library to sync with iBooks. I didn't want to manually add things, because sometimes it might be hard to know what had been added previously.

This got me thinking... why not just use iBooks to actually store my library, then Calibre would just be an intermediate step to edit metadata and the like. Download, edit in Calibre, move to iBooks. Nothing ever permanently stays in Calibre.

Any downsides to this?
