Since my ebook collection is currently moving in on 15,000, I need a tool such as calibre to keep track of them. I suppose I could emulate paper books and go back to using a library card catalogue.
Thanks for sharing this. I will definitively use at least a few of these columns. For context, I wish I said that at the beginning, my goal is mostly sorting the most recent books I acquired to then decide what to read next. Thus my sorting is for a limited number of books (10 or so) from a varied group of authors/topics ... Ranking these books in a column "ReadNextScore" seems promising to not miss that one book I have got since a bit longer and do not want to forget ...
