Calibre cataloguing of Device only
Hello - not sure how to do this. I have ~300 books that are on my Kindle that are not also in my Calibre library (i.e. from Amazon or other sources).
They do not show up when I create a Catalog of my library, even if I try the "ondevice:true" search filter. My question is how can I create a catalog of these books, or a listing that I can print and/or edit? Thanks for the help! |

Ondevice:true just shows a Match to what is in your Library
If you can see book in Device view (the tick shows which are in Calibre that match). You can select books: (right click) Add to Library None of this works for hidden books (in protected ![]() |

If those are direct downloads from Amazon, they won't show up in Calibre. You'll need to remove the DRM and import them to Calibre separately.

Thank you. I think I was able to move 20 or so into the library and the rest are only visible on the device. I found an option where I could generate a (sort of) list and then I manually added that list to my catalog spreadsheet and filled in the extra data also manually. It was a bit time consuming but got it done.
