Do you use it? What can it do for me if I buy and install it in the context that I only read 2 eBooks on History / Biography at a time and only own 35 Amazon eBooks? |
I have it but I really do not use it, it is very rare that I need to connect remotely. I usually just connect my paperwhite by usb and add the books directly on the pc. On the Fire I just download what I am in the mood for from my dropbox. I only keep about 15 books on my Fire, usually just the current book I am reading and the current audiobook/ebook immersive reading sets.
But as to the database, I have customized it so much with the plugins, plugboards and custom columns I can pretty much find anything I am looking for easily. Prior to using Calibre I used All My Books and Microsoft Access before that. My original database started in 1995 and I have been updating and converting it ever since. I like to keep stats on when I purchased books, when I read them and all my other various notes. And of course it keeps track of what I've purchased because I have been known to buy the same book numerous times. With the use of my db and Amazons little yellow bar telling me I already purchased it, this has been minimized to a large degree.
