I agree with hrynkiw. Your second post had only one question which Kovid answered. The second paragraph of the post was a statement, not a question.

Something to keep in mind about Kovid... Yes, his answers are a bit terse. He is a busy man, yet he takes time to answer questions here on the forums. How many developers do you know of that will do so? He is more responsive than his anwers would lead you to believe. I once asked about a minor feature that, it turned out, calibre didn't have. His response was, essentially, the feature didn't exist and I could make a formal feature request but not to hold my breath waiting for it. I believed him and wasn't upset by it because I knew that it was a minor feature few people would be interested in. Yet, within a couple of weeks or so, the request was assigned to a developer and was implimented. How many programs and developers do you know of will give you that kind of service?

That being said, maybe you could make a custom column (or one for each card) that can show the book has been loaded on a particular card. My vote would be a manually populated column (using a star to indicate the book is on the card) for each card (do a search for the books you want to put on the card, use save to disk to populate the card, then use the mass edit metadata screen to populate the column) but it would eat up a lot screen real estate. Mahap some of the gurus here could take this suggestion and expand on what might work best and how to do it?
