Hello everyone! I finally collected all of my ebooks in Calibre (I have many cookbooks). The problem is, I probably only care about 20% of the books I have and I want to quickly sort them between "keepers" and "archivers".

The simplest thing would be to go through them one by one and tag each one as such. The problem I am having is that it is quite cumbersome to do this, as I either need to drag each book individually to the tag, or edit the metadata. Both take a long time. I'd ideally just like to do it quickly with the keyboard, but I can't find anyway to do so. If anyone has ideas please let me know! Thanks.
