Help with Calibre
Hello
I am a total newbie to Calibre and to sites such as this one, is there a simple way in Calibre I can mark a book as already read, I have looked at some previous posts some of which refer to Prefixes but I don`t seem able to locate this within the preferences section. Sorrty for taking up time with what is probably a basic item but I have spent a fair bit of time already on this and am not getting anywhere. Thank You SK |

The way I do it is to just add a "read" tag to the book.

It’s easy to create a custom column to keep track of the books you’ve read. An added benefit of a custom column is that when you create a book catalog (a neat feature of calibre), the books you’ve marked as “Read” are clearly indicated in the catalog. To create a custom column, click: Preferences Add your own columns On the next screen click the large green “+” on the right-hand side On the “Quick create” line click “Yes/No” On the column heading line replace “Yes/No” with “Read” Click “OK” Click the green checkmark “Apply” in the upper left corner You will be prompted to shutdown calibre and restart To use the custom column: Highlight a line for a book you’ve read Single-click the “Read” column on the highlighted line Click the small drop-down arrow Double-click the green checkmark “Y” Holler back if you have any questions … |

I use the rating column, only assigning a rating when I have read the book. By default, no rating=not read

Thanks again and the idea about using the rating is excellent though i have already made a custom column as suggested by MartyTX.
