While speaking of columns - I would like to know the formats I have for each book - ie usually which ones I have not converted yet. Could we add a column that displays the formats?
The Title column does not strip noise words like The, A, An, it ignores them and sorts on the first real word "The World is Round" sorts on World...

Author Sort is really Author LAST Name Sort if you use the standard Fn Ln in the Author field
Joe Smithe = Smithe, Joe and sorts as Smithe


Book Details (Press the Book Icon on the Right) shows the formats.
Using the search tool can show what you still need to do.

Example show all TXT files That do NOT have EPUB versions.
Code:
format:txt Not format:epub
There is very little that Calibre does not do.
It just might not be exactly your way.

You just walked in on a big update.
The changes that have happened in the last 6 months is absolutely amazing.
Read the change log and see what I mean.
