Printed books already read
Hi all,
I am new to EBooks and Calibre and this is my first post. I always have trouble remembering which printed books I have read and have been guilty of buying the same book twice ( admittedly several years apart) Is there any easy way of adding a list of previously read books so you can check before buying new ones? Cheers Philglen |

a 2 stage operation in Preferences: Behavior there is a box "Tags to add" We have to do this way as this is the only field we can control this way). type in a Unique-unused Tag name eg 17new Now use Add from ISBN section of Add books (whips out trusty barcode scanner, copies an pasts the list of ISBN's from a spreadsheet or doc) Now use the Tag Browser or search bar to Find "17new" Tags Select All Bulk edit Meta-data and have it mark your Custom user 'read' field Apply Now set Tags to Remove: to "17new" OK (we just got rid of the temporary marker tags) Go back and remove the Tags to add in preferences(or it will happen for any book added in the future). Developers: would it be easy to have a Add tag: that is 1) part of the Add ISBN dialog 2)the Value (remembered) only applies when using Add ISBN? |
