thanks. I am doing that now with my tablet. Is there a way to connect to my calibre library via my android?
When I access it at home on my pc, I see that there is a mobile view, so then I try to connect via wifi at home using my tablet and typing in that same web address, but when I type in that address in my android it will not recognize.
