Hi all,
I have taken to creating empty books for book series that I want to read through but don't have at the moment. The idea is to know which ordewr to buy them and to add them as I purchase them.
Is there a way to add a book (in any format) to an existing empty book?
At the moment I just add the new file as a new book, delete the old/empty one and edit the new one appropriately.
However, sometime I edit the metadata of the blank book before I have the actual book so it would be good if I could just import the new file into the existing book.
Is there a way to do this?
Alternatively is there a way to transfer all metadat from one file to another?
Best wishes
Clive
