Keeping track of your books & subtitle customizations
I'm curious to see how many people customize their metadata to add more info about a book! I'd love to see what changes you made
I get lazy to long press on a book and click "book details" so I've substituted the scarcely used subtitle section for word counts followed by the genres or tropes. If there's no genres/tropes then I'll replace this with the hours/minutes needed to read a book. Then I categorize the books into collections by word count, season/mood, or genre |

I've been wanting to add page count to the subtitle field, but haven't gotten around to it (mostly because I constantly forget I want to do it.). My collections are mostly based on genres, so I'm not going to bother adding a genre to the subtitle.
My reading speed is extremely uneven, so I'm not going to bother with that either. At the moment I only have title, series and author displayed in the book list. |

Subtitle: Genre followed by number of pages.
Authorname is followed by number of books and "5*" whenever this author got 5 stars by me. All automatically done. |

There are four lines in my book lists: Title, number of pages, series and author. And as the number of books in my 3 readers increased (some 8000 now), so did the number of tags with main genre, with cross-tags (fanfiction and fanfic ss for instance) with a number in front for those I want at the top of the collections list.
Here are examples (in French): 0 catalogue 0 référence 1 * 1 * fiction 1 à lire 1 à relire 1 SF-F à lire 1_italien à lire 2 omnibus poésie hor réf 5 à réviser 6 espagnol 8+ (= not readable on 7" or less readers) Byron (for books by Byron or on Byron) éfélé (a source for French classics) Note: I attribute one star or none. |

I read a lot of fanfiction on my Kobo, so on those I use the subtitle to display the fandom and story progress (in-progress/complete).
