Working Offline
I always forget that Calibre isn't just a program on my computer that organizes books but that it is a database whose purpose is to be used on the net that translates what I do on my computer into a dynamic way of searching for books.
Is there a way of simply working offline? I have rarely if ever even gone online to use it. Because of this, the way I format the database on my computer and the way I use Calibre no doubt causes problems for the online results. It also most likely contributes to the database being so slow to update new fields.
So... I was wondering if there was a way of taking my databases offline to work on instead of them being updated in realtime.
Is this a thing? Or possible? Or am I just ignoring the point of Calibre and using it for the wrong reasons?
The main use for Calibre for me is to store books and keep records of read dates, etc. I use the columns for the most part to copy into the comments sections then those comments end up being in the book jackets (since I have yet to figure out how to change book jackets to include those columns, no matter how simple it seems to be). The majority of my data in my library is always changing so updating Calibre takes a lot of time, just to make my book jackets and Catalogs so informational.
