Calibre just doesn't do what I want. First of all, I want to sort author by last name. Calibre refuses to do that simply because I have [Lastname, Firstname] in my metadata. The second author gets a new line.
About multiple authors: I put them in a folder of the primary author. Which is most often the author I know best 
My current formats are [source], epub, mobi and pdf. Where source is the unzipped version of epub.
ISBN's I couldn't care about, and neither genre. I only care about the author and within that the series. |
Actually, calibre does sort by author last name. It will list the name first name, last name but the sort is now by last name. If you are referring to when you first mass load your e-books, someone on the forum can help you come up with a recipe that will allow calibre to read your filename structure correctly. I haven't worried about that because I load my "ebooks" (scanned p-books) into calibre as I create them and create the meta data (tags) required from the ISBN (which is the main reason I care about them) which I copy and paste from the filename from within calibre. It generally takes only a few seconds, including checking to see if there is a better looking cover than the often beaten up looking cover I scanned.
