Still figuring this out.
1. Download.
2. Eventually pre-process any pdf files.
3. Eventually import into Calibre.
3A. I use columns for distributor, publisher, and processing, to keep track of the sources and how I've processed pdf files.
3B. I use another column for status to keep track of which books to export to which devices. I use columns for genre, and projects, to help form Kindle collections.
3C. I use separate columns for tags, categories, and notes. Since each publisher uses their own set of tags, I usually wipe tags or move them to categories. I use my own tags to list the main topics, themes, or types of stories, and notes for specific topics of interest, as well as issues which may come up if I write a review. And a column for bookmarks to list important page numbers.
4. Move the original onto my archives disk, organized by distributor, and then either library for public-domain internet archive books, or topic, or author, depending. I use a red tag for files I've imported and a gray tag for ones I've skipped, e.g. because they are extra formats, or because they were freebies and I've lost interest in that author.
