I keep a #freeform custom column where I copy
all AO3 tags found in my downloaded fics. Then a #fictags column with scrubbed values (LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet+Job Spy scrub tags feature -> performs both canonicalizing and deletion of tags I'm not interested in). I also keep a separate #collections column for creating collections based only on a handful of most used tags (less than a hundred).
- #collections: for offline on-device browsing
- #fictags: for online on-device browsing (of Calibre mobile server or COPS) using built-in browser or via smartphone/tablet using Calibre Companion or content server
- #freeform: for browsing via fast device with largish screen (tablet or PC) using Calibre, Calibre Companion or content server
