Do you use calibre to manage your printed books library?

I get the impression you may be over-thinking it. I suggest you select a representative subset of books (probably about 30) from the BookCAT catalogue and add them manually to an "Experimental" calibre library. You can then add/remove/change custom columns as you see fit, play around with Preference settings to see what they do, try out some of the plugins etc etc.

@davidfor - I already gave IL a plug

@BR Thanks for the tip but it is exactly what I want to do. I always work on test and trials first until I'm 100pct sure everything works just fine.
