I don't know, it would require Python programming, and I only know how to code in JavaScript for now. Besides, the main idea of the app was not to change books files, but only provide a handy GUI to manipulate a database that holds books data on device. I have no idea if this can be inplemented in Calibre.

That's weird, the app is supposed to be completely offline. Can you tell me what adress it was?

After creating one shelf on my pocketbook, suddenly creating new shelfs worked in the app. But something strange happened: I filtered per author, selected all books (via the "select all books" button) and selected add to shelf, assuming that all the books in the filtered selection will be added to the shelf. Strange enough not only the filtered but all my books were added to the shelf. If the books were manually selected, only those were added to the shelf.

Can you redownload app and try again? I fixed some bugs that can be related to that.

Well, that's confusing. Definitely didn't come from my code. Probably has something to do with the database. What happens if you select these entries?

Good idea, I will add this option.

No, it is not possible to change series. I don't think I will add this possibility. You can use Calibre, if you need to change series permanently within book file, because this app can't change files. Or you can change the database itself (it should be located at device/system/explorer-3/explorer-3.db) whith some tool like DB Browser for SQLite or something like this. I made my app, because changing shelfs in DB directly is too complicated, but changing series is pretty simple.

You mean, blank screen on the device?

You can add books to favorite/delete from favorite clicking on heart symbols. You also can mark/unmark them as finished. That was what symbols near the books and on the bottom when selected are for. Buttons on the top allow you to filter books by favorite/not favorite/completed/not completed.
