I agree that calibre is not designed for a lending library but I found that it works well enough for keeping track of both my ebooks and pbooks.
I really want all my books in one database so that I'm not checking two databases to see if I have one particular book so my paper books are added to my Calibre library and tagged as pbook. (and when I'm checking if any of my pbooks are missing, I pull up my pbooks from the calibre server onto my tablet to create my checklist) Before calibre I had entered most of them into a bar code scanning app that allowed export as CSV so when I switched to calibre I just had to master the Import List plugin. Nowadays I just add them as I buy them. |

I actually have noticed a good handful of my old favorite authors seem to be going indie now and moving some of their old books that seem to no longer be under the old publishers to their own accounts now on amazon. Every once in a while I will see what seems to be a new book also.. One day I might check them out. it's been so many years since I read much of theirs that I have trouble keeping up with all the new stuff from the newer authors I follow.

@audeojude Jim died quite a while back and the choice of what is currently picked by Toni is just not my cuppa. I still buy some Baen, all from the old stable of authors.
I agree, the bundles are no longer the great bargain they were. That is a business decision that probably was needed to survive. As to the Free Library, 2 things. 1) Eric Flint passed. 2)The same reason bundles got pricier. Other retailers did not want back room sales. |
