I have that column at this point. It is a starter. I am thankful to those who suggested that. I still believe that having to add a number to an item to later rank them by sorting it is not an equivalent process to what I had in mind. Once again, a close proxy would be to lie the books with the cover up on a big table and start to group them a bit, remove some it's not a good time to read for whatever reason, then finally select my next read ... not based on a number that I have to invent, but just based on seeing the book. Some famous apps made a lot of money by asking users to swipe left or swipe right to express like-dislike ... you have to admit that the medium you use to select affect your choices ... but yes Calibre has all it is needed to _some users_ I do not need to hear that again please.
