ISBN in Calibre

goentropo · 03-12-2011, 12:23 AM

Feeling as though I'm missing the bleeping obvious, but where is the ISBN field in Calibre. There is mention of it in the Help files etc but searches both there and on the forum haven't as yet shown me where I can enter this information. I thought there may have been a column option available for the ISBN as it would help downloading the metadata for the books that have it already entered.

The isbn field is in the database, accessible via the edit metadata window and can be easily searched by isbn:true or isbn:false. It can also be a source for the creation of a custom column just use the "quick create" when creating the column.

As I said, I was missing the bleeping obvious, I was clicking on the drop down menu and not on the button directly.

Thank you, I really appreciate your fast response.
