@meme or others. Apologies if this has been asked before. A colleague I put onto using this plugin is doing the following:
- generating collections in the plugin using authors
- maintaining a "currently reading" collection on the Kindle
- also maintaining a "read" collection on the kindle
Now as he has just setup his Kindle with loads of books with this plugin, he has quite a number that he would like to add to his "read" collection to begin with. Doing it manually on the Kindle will be the ongoing behaviour, but to setup his initial set is way too slow/clunky to do on the Kindle itself.
He was trying to use the "Edit collections manually" function in the plugin, but couldn't really get it to do what he wanted in a convenient way (he didn't really want to scroll down lists of thousands of books within there).
Is there a recommended way to do that with this plugin? My own usage is of the most basic functionality that you stuck way back in the original versions and I haven't paid close attention to all the stuff since then that might help. Right now he has no record other than in his head of which books he has "read" and wants to put in this collection (i.e. no special tags or custom column in calibre).
Perhaps one way might be to mark them all in calibre using a tag or custom column (which is a bit more convenient for searching/filtering), use the plugin to create a specific collection based on that column as a once off, then remove that mapping so he can then maintain it manually on the Kindle (or something). But I am just guessing, perhaps someone here has a better idea.
