2 Simple questions about Calibre
One is a dumb question but please humor me. It is a about metadata....
I know how to go in and update all of the info and series and installment data as well what my question is say a book is part of a series (and it is notated in calibre as such) when you put it on your reading device (mine is a kindle) while it show what installment the book is in the series? Also, I looked and could not find this, is there a place in the software to note a book as read? Or can I add a column to note that, so when I am looking in the grid I can easily see what has been read and what has not or for that matter sort from read to unread? Thanks in advance..... |

I believe there's a list of allowed expressions underneath the relevant input field. That should help building the expression you need.

First you can create a catalog of all your books using the dropdown menu to the right of the Convert E-books icon. This way a complete list of all your books including summaries, tags and series info. You can't jump straight to a book on your Kindle using this but using the below you can navigate easily to the book you want via the instructions below. Quote:
I hope this helps. |
