The QuarantineAndScrub add-on has the ability to do exactly what you are asking for. See the User Guide near its end for examples and how to configure the table that controls relocating Title substrings to multiple custom columns.

When I try to create the Template Function, I get an error: Quote:
kindle_read_status: unknown function Quick update: I fixed the syntax error. Dunno why, but it didn't work when I copied the code from the mobile site. When I tried it from the .com version, I could create the Template Function without error. However, now when I connect my Kindle Voyage and fetch annotations, I get the following error message: EXCEPTION: evaluate() takes exactly 10 arguments (9 given) What is going wrong here? Any help is still greatly appreciated Last edited by AJvK; 05-20-2015 at 01:22 PM. Reason: new information |

I remade the templates and columns several times, and I finally got them working without throwing up error messages. However, the information in the column is stuck at "Not Read", no matter how much I've actually read, despite multiple attempts at fetching the annotations from the Kindle.
So my question remains: what am I doing wrong? AM I doing something wrong, or does this just doesn't work on a Voyage? I've followed the instructions to the letter - the only thing off is this: Kindle "Book status" is added to the Calibre book details, in the comments. I don't see anything Kindle related in the books comments, before nor after fetching annotations, or anything else for that matter except what I put in myself (blurbs, mostly). Edit: I've tried a few things: - fetching annotations does nothing, both for sideloaded books and for books bought from Amazon and delivered through Whispernet - as I understand it (bear with me, I'm new to Kindle) the metadata is fetched from mbp files? I can see those files when I'm browsing the content-folder of the Kindle app on my Mac. But there are no mbp files on my Kindle device - this holds true for sideloaded books, and also for Whispernet, direct delivered books. What I do see on my Kindle Voyage is an azw3 file for the book, and a separate sdr folder per book, with several small files but no mbp. Might this be why it's not working? Did Amazon change something to the Voyage, or in the firmware? - tried manually copying the mbp file from from the Kindle app folder to the Kindle itself (both in document folder, and the book specific sdr folder), with both the original name and renamed to the books name on the Kindle it and reading a few pages, but none of that works, the mbp files remains unchanged. - tried manually adding an annotation to a book, but that doesn't show up in calibre, and all the mbp files remain unchanged For completeness sake: Kindle Voyage, FW 5.6.2.1 I don't know what else to try, so please Last edited by AJvK; 05-22-2015 at 04:56 AM. |

AJvK, calibre's Fetch Annotations doesn't work for Kindles beyond K3(Keyboard Kindle), and not always for those either. Plus it only works for mobi files, not azw3/kf8.
You can fetch annotations from the Voyage with the Annotations plugin, but this uses My Clippings.txt, so you won't get last read locations since these are stored in the sidecar files (.mbp for mobi, .han for azw3) |

Dear guys,
I tried but failed to come up with a template to achieve this: Title - Author (no file extension, and unicode characters not converted to simple character). For instance, I tried: {title} - {author} Calibre created: Tieng Dat - Xuan Thieu.epub I want: Tiếng Đất - Xuân Thiều Please guide me through. |

That's too bad... So is there any way for calibre to display read status from a recent (i.e. non-jailbreakable) Kindle Voyage?

There is no good reason I can think of to exclude the extension. File extensions exist for a very good reason. |

I have a question about a save template: I found chaley's {series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}, which gives me the result closest to what I need. I would like to tweak it a little, so I don't get
Author - Series - # - Title words.ext but Author - Series # - Title words.ext Which hyphen can I delete to get this? Whatever I try, I get a message about invalid conversion parameters. |

Feel free to ask as many questions as you need, that's what we are here for.
(Documentation is still good, because why wait for other peoples' help if you can figure out how to do it yourself right then and there? ) |

Kobo Aura H20 collection using a custom column
I have recently purchased a Kobo Aura H20 to replace my Kindle PW1 which my mother-in-law is now using, and I am trying to set it up similar to the way I had it set up on my Kindle PW1, with the help of every one here in previous posts.
Basically I created a custom column: Code:
Lookup Name: kobocollections Column Heading: Kobo Collections Column Type: Column built from other columns,behaves like tags Template: {author_sort}{series:| - |} I then in the Plugins "Kobo Touch" I entered in the tag section: Code:
kobocollections, Landsem, Stephanie - The Living Water Which is exactly what I want. Except once I transfer the books over to the Kobo and view collections what it creates is: Code:
Landsem 3 books Stephanie - Living Water 3 books Code:
Fomat: epub Device: any device Source Template: {title}{series:| - |}{series_index:0>2s| [|]} Destination field: title Thanks crissman |

Given that template, why did you choose "behaves like tags"? |
