Is Mapleread SE good?

Sorry, I accidentally posted the wrong picture, so I had to delete the post and do it over.

I'm looking for an app that fulfills the same basic function as calibre on the pc. It doesn't have to be able to link to calibre, just do the same thing. Ideally, I would like an app that has these features:

Tag system
Can read pdfs and epub files
Can support a large library without issue
Can take notes or at least highlight in both epub and pdfs
A PLACE TO LOOK AT NOTES ACROSS BOOKS, NOT JUST WITHIN A SINGLE BOOK

I like that Mapleread allows you to take notes and highlights in pdfs.

I've heard that some e-reader apps struggle with very large libraries, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this? If you have MapleRead, how many books have you been able to put in it without lagging/crashes/etc?

I haven't found a single e-reader app that has a unified place to look at notes. Sometimes, books have one or two comments on an issue that isn't really related to the larger themes of the book. Say if I'm reading a book on economics, and it makes one comment along the lines of, "People with disabilities are at a disadvantage in such and such an industry." I don't want to tag the book as #Disability, but I want to be able to find that note relating to disability if I'm studying that. Does anyone know of any app like that?

It seems like Mapleread is the best app for what I want, but does anyone have any other suggestions?

Calibre Sync

Hello again! I'm trying to find an app that allows me to look at my calibre library on ios. I've heard Calibre Sync is good, but I've also heard concerns that it can corrupt your calibre library? Or rather, that uploading your calibre library to a cloud service can corrupt it. How likely is that? Has that happened to any of you?

Any complaints about Calibre Sync in particular?

If I want to backup my library, I can just copy the entire folder it pulls from to a different spot, right?

Thank you for the help!

Note Taking

Sorry again for the silly question, but how to you TAKE notes in Calibre?

I see the button for browsing them , but I haven't made any yet so there's nothing to browse.

Do you need to use Calibre's e-book reader?

Is this app official?

I was looking for easy ways to look through my calibre library on the iphone, and I found this. It says I can link my calibre library and view it on my phone. No reviews yet, so I don't know anything about it.

How to Save?

So this is probably an embarrassing question, but how do I save my preferences? I don't see any save button, and when I exit out of Behavior, my changes are lost

Published Data

Hello, I'm new to Calibre, and I'm struggling to change the Published Data in a single book. When I erase the year, I can't erase the month. It simply won't let me backspace. If I then click on the month, it remakes the original date. I tried erasing all the info, but then it becomes "Undefined" and I can't change it to what I need anyways. The Published info here isn't accurate, and I would like it to be accurate.

Icloud and Ibooks

I want to upload ONLY my ibooks to icloud, nothing else from my phone.

I've turned off all the icloud syncing for all the other apps. I've made sure icloud sharing is on for ibooks in the app section of the settings. I have enough storage, and I am using the same account on both my pc and phone.

But when I look at my icloud account on the pc, there isn't even an ibooks symbol anywhere. A bunch of old stuff I deleted from icloud on my phone is still on there too.

I figured maybe it just hadn't updated, so I tried to do an icloud backup on my phone. I thought it would only try to backup the allowed apps. But when I do that, it says I don't have enough storage, presumably because it's trying to back up everything, not just ibooks. So I don't know what to do next. Any help would be appreciated.
