Hi
I have books on an older Samsung Galaxy using ReadEra. ReadEra allows you to add tags (they call them "collections") to a book that are then saved in the .metadata.calibre file on the device. My question is if there is any way to sync those "ReadEra tags" with Calibre using a custom column? Or will they need to be added manually?
Thanks!

Grr. I tried to add an image of the .metadata.calibre file showing the tags but I've failed. Anyway, example:

"tags": [
"AU",
"Horror",
"Hotel"
],
