Riiiight. I'll find that right after I scrounge up a Wild Cards superhero game.

thanks for the idea's on formating, I've been slowly entering my library since starting the post, my problem wasn't finding them in Calibre myself, but how I could still make them easy to find for the rest of the group. We have the luxury of gaming 3 times a week, 3 different games, 3 different GM's but my computer seems to have somehow become the central repository for everyones digital game books.
Right now, no ebook system is good for actual libraries. They are all, at best, decent for a single person's large collection; none are built to work well for multi-purpose use (leisure, research, reference, archiving); there's no ebook program that works like a digital card catalog. (Not the fault of the software builders; someone has to enter all those keywords as metadata, and they can't effectively design software for "all options somebody might consider important someday." Lots of ebook library software allows 2-5 keywords; it gets a lot more troublesome when you want to include a dozen keywords and three dozen search terms.)
