Hi Hilton (& Graham, who suggested the same thing)

I have installed Calibre, and don't get me wrong, it looks like a great 
reader. From the looks of things, I can download/install/convert books 
within Calibre, from multiple sources, and can even transfer them to my 
reader device, but that seems to be as far as it goes. The problem for 
me is that I cannot see any way to get it to interact with Kobo and/or 
Amazon accounts in order to track my library and progress within 
individual books. Am I just missing something, or is there a way to link 
Calibre to my online bookstore accounts?
