The screen on my trusty bebook shattered a couple weeks ago, and I have replaced it with a shiny new Sony PRS650. I'm still trying to figure out how to best organize my books on the Sony. I currently have three libraries in calibre (one for fiction, one for technical books, and one for work documentation). I'd like to separate these into three different collections on my device. I know I can set up a custom column and simply add the name of the library in there for each book, but I'd like a more automatic way of doing it, for example, by specifying the library as a collection field in the Sony plugin, or by filling in a default per-library value for a custom field. Is something like this possible?
