I haven't yet read through all 17 pages, so, this might already be answered, and, if so, I apologize. Please simply point me in the right direction if at all possible, but, I followed your instructions to a tee. What I want, however, is for the shelves functionality to kinda work like the "collections" function on my Sony PRS-950, where the tags (Mystery, Fiction, Suspense, etc), are each on a shelf. So, if I select "Suspense" all the books with "Suspense" in the tag will show up.
Is there a way to do this? Thanks again. |

I'm not a tag user so have yet to experiment with those (although i know another person had a similar question, and I had promised to play).
Let me experiment and see |

Currently running on empty. Once it cools down should have more energy and oomph

If by tags you mean the tags metadata in calibre, you can use this. Simple add "tags" to the list of shelf columns in the driver configuration. I have done this is the past to prove it it works.

Any way you can tell me how to do this? Sorry but, I'm completely technologically inept.

Wat PeterT heeft opgezet is als volgt: Besturingsprogramma / Calibre Configuratie
Configureren van Calibres Metadatabeheer opties
Klaar! Veel plezier ermee. Het vertalen van "automatisch veranderen van de boek titels om serie informatie toe te voegen" zal ik achterwegen laten. Last edited by Mrs_Often; 09-13-2013 at 04:30 PM. |

Why isn't my shelves syncing correctly with the Aura?
On calibre it seems fine, but when I open the collections of my aura there shows 0 books in them. |

Hi there,
I followed all the instructions and it is great. In the area for shelf info, I have set it as myshelves, authors (as I like everything sorted as directories (shelves) by author). 2 questions, 1 - books with multiple authors - can it be set so that all of the books are put into a shelf by the initial author e.g., Douglas Adams books under adams, douglas and Douglas Adams & Terry Jones book also under Adams, Douglas? 2 - books are showing up as "Adams,Douglas/Adams, Douglas - The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy - 03 - Life the Universe and Everything" How do I get rid of the initial Adams,Douglas/ ? thanks Dave Last edited by daveman; 09-23-2013 at 10:00 AM. |

Hi. I cant find the answer.
I have created a list with some books. For example 30 of them written by one author. How can I name "Shelves" column all toghether? I thought I should select them all and name one, so claibre will name others 29. But not. |

Two ways that I can think of.
Select all the books and press the edit metadata button. That will open the bulk edit dialog. Any changes will apply to all of them. You can also add books any type of tag like this by dragging the book to the entry in the tag browser. So, manual set it for one, and then drag the others to it. |
