Book list without the books

JoeSaligoe · 09-01-2017, 06:50 PM

I would like to see my book list, and group and sort it, on my tablet but I don't need to open any of my books on it. How can I do this? Can I export the book list from my desktop using excel if this isn't available? It seems the calibre companion app requires that the book contents be uploaded to the cloud before being able to work on the book list.

right click the Conversions Icon: Catalog: <Choose a format best suited. EPUB and Mobi have covers. CSV needs a spreadsheet>

There's also the option of adding an empty format to your books (see add books menu)and sending that to Calibre Companion for a more flexible catalog.

That's what I've done for my paper books and ebooks chained to an particular platform, I added an empty txt to their Calibre entry so that I could then add their information to CC (I use a user defined catagory Collection to provide the platform or location of the book).
