I've been experimenting with this recently on my Inkpad 3 by:
1. Setting up "Genres" in Calibre as per https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/sub_groups.html
2. Adding my books to subgroups under 1. above eg. Fantasy, Science Fiction, Crime etc
3. In calibre adding a metadata plugboard with:
Format: epub,
Device: Pocketbook740 (for the Inkpad 3),
Source template: {#genre} - assuming you called the custom column lookup name from 1. above #genre,
Destination field: tags
The metadata plugboard then replaces the existing tag entries for the book with the entries from the genre sub groups in the epub file saved to the pocketbook.
The pocketbook library app then imports the book using these tag entries. |
Thanks! I'll give that a try at some point!
For now, I found that removing tags from Calibre if one thing, but the Inkpad will still get them from the pub file UNLESS I create new tags. So I've done that and my Inkpad library is pretty much cleaned up. Except for the occasional wrong title or author name, which stay the way they want even if I "polish" the file through Calibre...
