Book Lists
Does anyone have a good way to cut a selection of books and paste the text into something else (e.g. email or a word processor)?
I can use the MS Windows 'snip' tool to capture an image of a screen's worth of material, but it is an image and doesn't work well with a list that is bigger than one screen. I thought maybe there would be a right-click function with multiple books selected that would do something like this, but nothing seem appropriate. I have been adding my "wish List" books to Calibre using the ISBN feature and I would like to sort out the wish list and produce a printed copy. |

What Kovid said, BUT
Select (highlight) your custom list of titles first Now when you create the Catalog, it will only contain those books. NB You might want to set a different save name. Note: the alternate output formats. |

you folks are just toooo clever
I knew there had to be a way - I created a custom "status" column and set it to yes/no. Now when I read a book, I set the status to yes (and get a green check mark) and I use the ISDN entry to enter books that are on my wish list (new, future or just wanted) and set the status to no and get a red X in the status column. Then I won't forget to check periodically to see if any of my wish list titles have become available.
