Wow, bulk editing in Calibre! OK, that's a nice feature that I don't remember from previous use (recently added?).
Still, I really prefer CLI :-). I used Calibre the app just about one time years ago, then discovered the CLI tools and never fired it up again. No offence to the devs, I'm sure it's a cool app and works great, I'm just CLI-oriented. And I do all my e-reading with Marvin on an iPad.
I absolutely love
ebook-convert which lets me bulk-convert any number of mobis or pdfs with one command :-). For those who haven't discovered how easy this is:
find . -name '*.mobi' -exec /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/console.app/Contents/MacOS/ebook-convert {} .epub \;
And I wish the metadata swap-2-fields function were available similarly through
ebook-meta. In the meantime, just another script.
... even bulk edit in the app won't tempt me to go through all that dragging and clicking :-)
