Getting Started--Former Kindle User ideas/suggestions

OK:
Love the program, it's replacing the Kindle app on at least 4 devices.

Here's my question/problem:
so far, I am struggling to find the best settings to replicate the general kindle settings
(I did find [after 3 days] the Justified setting.)

Can anyone give a good list of what settings need to be changed, to provide my better half with an 'out of the box' Freda solution?

I would also recommend (and will eventually document [ for an faq/program change] what settings should be changed, and  what a  new preset could be created to mimic the default kindle settings (justified, black on white, font size, font style, etc)

Having a 'suggested Kindle preset' would be helpful to new users. 
--> the program is SO,so powerful and versatile that it's initially overwhelming.

BTW, Kudos on the OneDrive, as well as the Calibre interfaces.

Another Suggested update:
in Calibre configuration:

The following was all done in the Calibre configuration menus:

After testing and verifying the calibre configuration worked as suggested:
  • I changed the port from 8080 to 3005 (as close to BOOK) as I could get.  (makes it harder to hack your calibre server)
  • I also verified port :3005 was not on the pre-defined ports list.
  • I also created two different id's  WITH passwords, that we personally use
  •      One for regular usage (without write permissions) called regular-user (change to what you want to call it here) [example user1 or mark]
  •      A second id with write permissions, (NOT called admin or Superuser), but  [example: user1-admin or mark-admin] if I wanted/needed to change my calibre library.
These small steps would increase the security of the Calibre/Freda interface, making the system more secure. 



Hope this is helpful,  the program is great, and full of potential!
