just whining, but i bet many people would agree with me: there should be a way to browse your book collection on the readers by the tags embedded in ebooks. boy, would that be nice. maybe we'll get lucky and sony will implement this on a future firmware upgrade (haha).

hi quillaja, if you use calibre, you can add as many tags as you like to the book in calibre, then when you send the book to your 600 it will create a "collection" for each tag. then you can browser by collection. is that what you are looking for ?

well, that's basically the functionality i'd like, and it's a work-around. i don't really like the idea of "messing with" my files, though, and would of course much much prefer the reader offer better library functionality out of the box.
but, thanks for the tip. i'll try it. |

What "tags embedded in eBooks" are you referring to, as a matter of interest?

OK. You can, of course, browse your books by title and author, but I take your point about the other metadata.
