Both of you are right; thank you for your answers; but I feel somewhat... an obsession with ordering and classifying my items: I want to see them correctly positioned. I often add to my Kobo html files captured from the internet, eanch containing an article or a post grabbed from online newspapers and blogs;
this is a quicker alternative than the traditional
orthodox procedure I execute in order to find them correctly storaged and classified:
- Bringing them as .epubs with GrabMyBooks
- Adding them to Calibre library
- Setting Shelf and other metadata correctly for each one of them
- Sending them from Calibre to Kobo
- Ejecting Kobo
- Re-plugging Kobo
- Re-ejecting Kobo
This
long procedure is ok for important articles and pages, essays, reviews, and any other content worthy enough to be preserved also after the first reading. For months I have been saving dozen of articles this way, and I'm quite satisfied.
But for brief articles, common posts and so on, one reading is enough, and the
long procedure is annoying: these files are disposable, and it's a pity to bring up the long procedure.
It is annoying, though, also to find the .htmls listed instinctively together with the other .epubs, tagged with a terrible
"Unknown Author" and a title chosen by default from the filename. When I add a lot of .htmls, it's quite uncomfortable to manually add all of them to the so-called "Brief Articles" Collection.
...
Ideas and suggestions about this will be welcome.
