Dear All,

I hope this is not to stupid a question. I'm new to calibre, and am having problems importing books in it. I have been looking in the forum, and on internet, but am not able to find anything on this.

In the past I used an android app moon+ reader, which worked well for me. I renamed all books I have, numbered their titles relative to release date, and put them in a folder with the authors name. So finding something was easy, and logical with regard to hierarchie.

I now have an epaper reader, which works a bit differently, so was looking into using calibre. Whatever I do though, it always imports and orders the books according to metadata in the files, of from the internet. It does not add from filename/folder. This is really annoying, since even books from the same series aquired over the years suddenly have completely different titles, etc.. I can change it using the edit metadata option, but then I have to go over more then 900 books 1 by 1.

-Is there a way to just simply import books by title, and ignoring every piece of metadata?

I can then use tags to combine them into collections easily accessible instead of having to edit metadata 1 by 1.

I've searched the forum, but am thinking that this might not be possible, and if I would want to use calibre, to have edit all my books metadata 1 by 1 :-(

But maybe there's a simpler way that I'm currently overlooking.

Thanks for any insight.

Best regards,
