two files for the same book?
Hey,
I recently added a book I had in two different formats but it created two files for it. Is there a way tell Calibre that it is the same book without having to delete it and add it again? Thanks! |

Add one of the books, and then after doing that go into Edit Metadata mode on that book and you will be able to add the second format.

I would like to know if it possible to store two version in the same format. In some cases I make a cropped version of a pdf (software manual with huge margins for example) but would like to keep the uncropped version. When I add a file with the same format, calibre replaces the other file.

You cannot do two of the SAME file. What I have done is just use the same title and append it to my liking so I know what the cropped version is.

There is an alternative trick you can use to get multiple identical formats into a single ebook record. Calibre will accept zip and rar format files. You can put anything you want into those containers and drop them into any ebook record. A rar file could include a dozen pdf copies of the same book. You would have to save them out and unrar/unzip them to get at the contents.
