Welcome to MobileRead Forums.
MobileRead Wiki Main Page, links to ebooks, libraries, stores, and information on devices, readers, tools, and formats.
There is a calibre article on MobileRead wiki. AFAIK nothing prevents there being other calibre wiki pages with different focus or content.
These are some reasons this document is here:
- It is still under development, being added to and refined, with rapid revisions.
- Feedback spurs that along.
- I want to keep control of the edits. AFAIK, any registered user can edit a wiki article. I might be wrong because I never contributed to a wiki before, and don't know specifics of that process.
- The focus, as currently written and structured, is on how "I" manage ebooks with calibre, my needs, strategy, workflow, configs, and settings and how they interrelate. Not necessarily on how other people manage ebooks with calibre, which is usually different for each person. (General discussion of what other users do is mostly for context or contrast. Any discussion of methods to choose from is usually for context or contrast, and/or workflow contingencies.)
- I suspect most of the people reading this in a calibre forum are more calibre-focused than a broader group reading it as a wiki article.
If I'm wrong about anything in that reasoning, anybody, please let me know.
