If any of these are dups of resolved problems and you can point me to the threads, I would appreciate it greatly. I have a hard time with the search function returning usable information.
1) Is there some way that Calibre can pull the ISBN info from a book's copyright information page to get metadata?
2) I pulled down a free Kindle book to try converting it to LRF, but it had a protection lock on it. How do I know what books will be convertable, or am I missing somthing? (not a new situation...)
3) I have run into a situation where I have two Edgar Rice Burroughs directories, one with duplicate titles but no numbers in parentheses (352, for example). Which files can I delete without my Calibre not being able to find the book?
4) Apparently, Calibre updates my Sony-700 reader automatically when I plug it in, and I don't have to manually send books to it?
5) When I've added a bunch of new titles to my Calibre folder, what's the easiest way of Adding Books? Do I need to remember what authors I've added, or can I just tell it to add everything without getting dupes? I know for small amounts it catches them, but I've got almost 400 books as of right now and have room on my memory chip for about 8k.
6) I have most of the Oz books in Word.doc or .txt formats. Do I just put them in the Calibre folder and run the convert program to make them .lrf books? Also, after I've converted from one format to the other, can I just delete the one I don't want
I know some of these are probably 'duh' questions, but I'm way behind on tech stuff. MSDOS? I'm great at that, but then I got left behind.
Many thanks for your assistance and forebearance.
