hello,
i'm a new user of calibre. i've collected a lot of ebooks in the last year but they're not well organized, so i'm hoping that calibre can help.
i very much like calibre's capacity to extract basic metadata from an ebook.
i haven't found another program yet which does this so well WITHOUT querying the internet. (suggestions?)
with the bare bones metadata from calibre, i can then decide which books i want to have queried for tags, etc. this seems important since
there are daily limits to the number of requests (how many for amazon?) and i have thousands of books / articles to organize at this point.... the task could take weeks otherwise.
maybe it is a good idea for calibre to query five or so databases, which can be selected or deselected, so that the possible daily limit through calibre is larger.
but i've got two main problems:
#1 i want to export that metadata to other applications such as zotero and endnote. endnote is especially important. but i can't find a way to do this through the opf file.
is there another way to export the metadata to endnote?
#2 when i save to disk, i can save the renamed file with last name author, first name author, title, publisher, pubdate, isbn; in other words, in the same basic format as a bibliography. this is important in case i'm looking for an author using other means, i.e. windows search, locate32, google desktop, etc., and i want to sort the results.
can i rename the file in this manner before "save to disk"?
i don't use a reader, just my laptop, so these are my main concerns. i've searched the help and forum but i didn't see answers to these specific questions.
comments / help appreciated!
