That said, why not just add tags to the books according to what device you want to send them to and use your idea with saved searches? If you tagged the books you want on the Nook with, say, "Nook", you could have a search
Code:
tags:"Nook" and ondevice:false
that would display the books you want to transfer to the Nook if that device is connected- I don't see where you'd have to change the search, just create one for each device.
You may also be interested in this plugin, although, from what I understand, it sends to the next connected device, as well, in the same manner the news do. |
The part about authors is what makes it difficult. I want everything by Author X on the Nook. Author X comes out with Book+1. I don't want to have to 'tag' that book as being destined for the nook, I want to be able to easily send to device BECAUSE it's written by Author X. Having to tag each new book as it comes in is what I'm trying to avoid.
I'm basically envisioning something like:
(author:"=Tom Clancy" or author:"=Stephen King" or author:"=Jim Butcher" or author:="Next person" or tag:=nook) and ondevice:false
But I'm seeing where there may be 30-40 authors in that query and it just sounds fragile at that point.
