Sooo...my Kindle Oasis is on the way, on delivery next Thursday.
My first ereader was a Nook simple touch imported from the States in 2011, I still keep it as a relic lol
Afterwards I had several Kobos, but I never had a Kindle.
I always use Calibre to organize my library and sideloaded the books, I have already converted all my epub to Azw3, set the first page of the books with metadata, and many of my books have an ASIN (honestly I don't want to check them and fix them all now, they are 3500 lol, is there a way to do it automatically like with the isbn?).
I set Calibre to add the name of the tags to the title, I know I can add my fonts and if necessary I can customize the font sizes with the FONT_RAMP hack.
My epubs have always been set up to delete during the conversion the information about the fonts and margins used by the publisher, and I have kept the same setting for Azw3s, it's ok?
Now...I did my homework and did some research, but did I do something wrong or there is something that I could do in a better way?
Is there any interesting Calibre plugin or function that you use on Kindle?
Any tricks I don't know about?
Does convert books into KFX make sense?
And to get the "about this book" page and the link to Goodreads, is it enough to put the correct ASIN in the metadata?
Thanks!
