Does a Kobo have these features...
I'm thinking of switching from a Kindle. Does a Kobo have these features,
1) The ability to put books in collections, and, most importantly, the ability to see which books have not yet been put in a collection (the Kindle doesn't). 2) The ability to find your way back to your page in the e-book when cross-referencing or looking something up, sometimes looking something up that was in something you were cross-referencing in the first instance. (The Kindle is not very good at this.) Thanks, |

With Kobo while you can add books to collections on the device itself, it is far easier (if you use calibre) to manage collections via calibre.
If you do decide to manage via calibre, make calibre the canonical source for collection management; changes made on the device itself will be discarded by calibre. Changes can be made via calibre, and on the next connection of your device to calibre will be automatically updated. A book can belong to as many collections as you want, however there is no means (either on the device or in calibre) to tell what books are not in a collection. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk |

Additionally if one uses multiple calibre columns as the source for collections then your approach would not work. |

https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/artic...r-Kobo-eReader https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/artic...r-Kobo-eReader This feature is only available when reading ebooks, not in pdfs. Edit: I take it back, I checked to be sure, been a while since I read a pdf: this feature is available also in pdfs. Last edited by Colonel Cathcart; 05-25-2022 at 03:13 AM. |

In that case, try
Code:

Code:
tags:false and #mytags:false Calibre has a template system that is Turing complete and the ability to add plugins, so likely there's nothing it can't do, or at least, can't do eventually. Last edited by compurandom; 05-25-2022 at 07:12 AM. |
