It's very quick and easy but I appreciate that we all devise our own methods. The author you mention of the arcane society is on there.

The other point I like about the wiki method is it shows me what books I need to purchase to complete a series or author whereas with Calibre, it obviously only works with the books you've collected so far.
That is kind of a neat idea too. I assume you take this generated kindle file and add meta data in calibre?
