A dear friend bought me a Nook STR Glowlight for Christmas (last gen, thank goodness, so I've got the sd slot), and it arrived today. I love it! At first I thought it would break my habit of keeping so many books on my reader, due to not being able to manage the shelves with calibre.

Then I got the brilliant idea to use a custom column and a plugboard to add a shelf prefix to the titles, in parentheses so they would sort before the Nook library items.

I was able to put 160 books on 9 shelves in less than three minutes. With a little regex magic I could derive the prefix from my existing genre column instead, but that can wait. I think the 160 books I've got will hold me for a bit.

Calibre is an enabler.


Congrats your new shiny!
