Removing "New" stamp in covers view
I hate the look of the "New" stamp on all my books, is there a way to remove it without opening each book individually?

Easily and user friendly? No.
Not very user friendly, Yes. It requires some knowledge of RDMS. There is a SQL Lite database that drives the T1 books metadata on the filesystem (books.db). Check the books table in this database. If the readingtime column is null, it shows the new flag. So you can simply update the column to any time and the new flag will go away. |

You don't say what reader you have. PRS+ now lets you manually set the new tag. The Order Books utility also lets you set or remove the tag also very easily without having to change your firmware if you'd prefer that method.
Or if you can find which file your reader stores the info, it's a simple matter of editing the file. For the x50 series of readers: Open the file "database\cache\cacheExt.xml". Each book title needs opened="true" added to it. Change true to false if you want the new tags back on all books. But again, depends on what reader you have. |

Good point. I assumed OP was asking about the new Sony Reader, model PRS-T1. The previous readers do not use a sqlite database.

I have the prs-t1, but I can't find any options to remove it. Perhaps it is right in front of my face and I'm just not seeing it.

Sorry Zabet, as I said, there is no "user friendly" options to do this instead of opening each book at least once.
The option I gave to do it all at once requires you to go under the hood (and also requires you're comfortable in doing so). |

Thanks Log, since my library isn't that large (I always remove books after reading them) I will just take a little time and do it manually.

Log,
I'm willing to try it because it does drive me crazy that most of my "new" books aren't new. They have been read but they are new to this reader only. Saying I have 200 new books is annoying especially when I know that number is really more like 20-25 books. |

There's a really cool calibre plugin for the x50s that removes the new tag too.
I think it installed by default, but I didn't notice it until there was an update in October. It removes all books from the 'unread collection' and just takes a second or two. I wish it worked for the T1! |

Thanks for the reply, though the details look awfully confusing!

I didn't do anything to configure it or install it. When it showed up as an updated plugin, I let it update and add it to the toolbar. Then used the option to clear the new button. Couldn't be easier.
