CC ignores the metadata inside the book, instead getting the metadata from calibre. #6 chaley 10-06-2013, 02:20 AMNo changes made by a reading app to an ebook will make it back to calibre companion. See how tedious it is? This is what I like to avoid doing manually Again, manually and carefully because there are other books in Calibre that were previously tagged with 'READ' that are not part of this batch then either send these newly 'tagged' books back to CC (so CC will get the new tag) or have Calibre removed them from the device. visually and manually checked off one by one in Calibre List all books that were tagged with 'READ' while I was on vacation Also I can view all Read or unread books in a group by making a group from a custom column in CC (look in settings).It's this step that I thought there ought to be some automated way. I use a custom column and when I open the book details page in CC there is a checkmark indicating the book has been read. The next time you connect to CC the books will be updated to include the Read tag. I changed the tag in M+R but it did not get sent back to CalibreĬurrently you open calibre, select the 40 books, open edit metadata and add the Read tag to all 40 books at once. Does this make sense? If not, how do I keep track of finished books? (Let's say I put 100 books on my device, take it on vacation, read 40 of them and I like to tag these 40 as 'Read' in Calibre when I come back home?) So what I thought is to add a tag 'Read' in CC after I'm done with a book, then next time when I sync it back, these books will have a tag 'Read' on Calibre's side. What I can't figure out is how do I keep track which ones I finished reading and therefore sync back to Calibre? I like to be able to see which ones I read in Calibre. The reason I ask is (may be I'm wrong, as I'm new to Calibre):ġ) put all my ebooks in a single directoryĥ) when I get a new eBook, add it to the directory in (1)ĥa) send all books in (1) to device again to get the new book(s) on the device (easier to send all, instead of pick and choose the new ones) I'm wondering if there is a way to edit the tag of a book on the device and then sync it back to Calibre?
