Hi everybody, new joiner who is developing eye problems trying to get libraries sorted out using Calibre and Sony Reader library. I'm just trying to work out what I can and can't do with each one.

Calibre - can rename and edit metadata
- cannot create a new collection
- cannot move files between collections

Calibre frustration: the 'manage collections' doesn't! It only seems to allow you to rename them... grrr.


Sony Library - can create new collection
- can move files to new collections
- cannot rename/edit metadata.

Library Frustration: in the 'books' file there is no way of telling which collection a book has been put into, which is especially bugging if you have a large number of pdfs on your SD card.



Is this right? I think I must be missing something, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

This is giving me headaches. I do research, and I bought my PRS950 to have easier access to journal articles on pdf. Little did I know that e-readers don't use the straight file name, so I'm going to have to rename hundreds of journals in order to make them usable. There is no easy way around this, so I shall just have to go through them. However, I didn't expect that such organizational matters would be so annoying. Why couldn't the just have an option to follow the folders that I have carefully organized them into?

Ok ok, enough grousing from me! I look forward to other members opinions about these issues, and hearing if you've managed to get around them.

thanks!
