how to view/filter library by series/series index

masp · 02-03-2021, 11:22 PM

My Nova Pro is awesome but has one long-standing deficiency (for me): in the library view I can't view, filter or sort my books by series: I often want to read books in the same series, in a particular order, but can't always remember which title comes before the next: unfortunately I haven't found any way to configure the library viewer to show my this (series + series index) information or to interact with it. Short of installing another e-reader that has its own built-in library view, is there any way to achieve this?

Thanks!

i always keep an epub calibre generated catalog for the books still unread.

books are sorted by authors / titles / series / descriptions

Thank: I tried running Calibre Companion, but it doesn't seem to see the books I've already installed via Calibre (send to device). I guess I would need to delete all the books and then install them again via Companion? And then would Companion give me the series view I want and let me launch NeoReader for each book?

Yes, that's how it should work - but I use the AlReader as a reading application

Sounds good: will give it a try (and maybe also try AIReader and Moon as I see they're quite popular!). Thanks!
