I use calibre to manage the books and when I add a book I usually take a look to see if it needs to be tweaked to met my preferences, even the books that I buy from kobo, I prefer to download them to the pc and convert them to get rid off the blank lines between paragraphs, I absolutely hate them.

I use shelves for genres, so when I’m in the mood for something from a specific genre I browse that shelve, when I want to read something form a specific author I use the search option to find it.

I don’t have all my books in the glo, usually I only delete books from the glo if I don’t like them and don’t want to keep them, I usually mark them with one star, and I created a filter in calibre that colors that book in red so I know I don’t like it and will delete it from the glo, it stays in calibre so in the future I know that I didn’t like that book. I also use a filter to mark the books read in blue.

In calibre I have a column for the books that that I just added and need to be checked and /or converted, when I check them I change the status so I know which ones are ready to send to the glo.
