Yes, but unfortunately the browser experience isn't as good as that through calibre companion. Three big callouts:
- I can sort by author's name, but not drill down by letter. So if I know I want an author whose name begins with "S", I have to page through page after page to get to S. (Or type the author's name in the search, which is easy if it's Wilbur Smith, a pain if it's Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn)
- I can't drill down by other metadata fields such as series
- I can't see which books I have already downloaded. This is a big one for me.
This isn't a criticism, by the way, I'm not expecting the browser experience to be the same. I think the preferred flow is that the user would use a third party tool rather than the browser?
