I try to limit the use of custom columns, as I can, and store nothing important in them - so it is not a solution for my needs. Their values are not transported to metadatas, stored in files; they only seems in OPF files. But storing metadata in outer file, in my opinion, is not a good solution.
(Compare it with FLAC! I can store ANYTHING I want, in tags, in the file themselve. And, not less important, anything with any tag name. My opinion: the books metadata solution, compairing with music files', is in late about 15-20 years. Anywhen we will see a good, freely, like FLAC's Ogg Vorbis container's tags, customizable book file type. I have a dream...

Yes, except of the xml- and archive-structured EPUB - but I can not use it, my preferred type is MOBI. Why? Because MobiPocket Reader can not read EPUB, but can MOBI. I use Calibre only for organizing, but read books in MPR. The cause:
Calibre reads wrong, with big defects.
