I cannot figure out how to use the 2 quote buttons....
"You should (IMO) have one calibre library. It's easy to view sub-sets of your library through "Virtual Libraries" from pdurrant.
I am not sure if I will de-drm the books. I thought different libraries could help me keep track of which books were bought from B&N and which from Amazon. Then using Calibre I would know which app to open to read a particular nook. (If I get a Boox and use Nook and Kindle apps.) I have not read about virtual libraries yet.
Sirtel- "If you can open a book in the Calibre viewer, there's no need to delete and re-import it. Re-importing is only necessary for the books with DRM."
Thank you. I just created a yes/no column in Calibre. I put a checkmark for the books that have DRM. The majority of the books open so that's good.
JSWolf- I downloaded the Nook for Windows app, and now I have all of my books downloaded. Only a few books could not be found using Calibre's Metadata search, but usually I could remove the ISBN and the book was found. Sometimes the ISBN was not there and I added it, then my search found the book. I found all but about a dozen books.
I cannot find books that have multiple authors like a boxed set, but I think that has something to do with how the authors are listed. Thanks for your help.
