I agree, I too do not find the help file/manual very helpful. There is alot of information in there based on alot of assumptions. One of those assumptions being the user is proficient in regular expressions and programming. It also does not fully explain the layout of Calibre or the functions of each area. For example, I was typing a post today and I wanted to give the correct terminology for the icons on the left hand side of the GUI, I looked in the manual and there is no explanation for the fields which I was looking for. It would be helpful if this document was written with the end user in mind, no matter what his level of expertise. Also as to this forum, even when a newbie asks for help, oftentimes she (myself) will be given an answer to go find this, or use regex for that, and once again assumptions are made that the user is proficient in regex or other programming skills. Oh,and the infamous search the internet for the regex documentation and fix it yourself. I do not know why Calibre was created and who the demographic audience was when it was created, but as you can see there are many users who have been advised that this is the best program to use to organize your e-library. Since it is publicly released, it would be nice if the preferred method of assistance is to use the documentation, then the documentation should be accommodating for all users.
Now with all of that stated, I am in no way complaining about the program, the users or the forum posters. I am just stating facts as I have experienced here on the forum.
