True, there would be no way to understand if it has been already overwritten, unless Calibre doesn't track it. If I put genre in the synopsis/comments I think it would not be used when searching, right? That's why I put it in the subtitle.
Using genre for collections would be very dispersive and unbalanced in my case, as I'm using very detailed genres like the book stores, so I would end having very few books in some collections and a lot of books in others. Also, a book can belong to multiple genres... Where should it go in that case? I'm actually using a separate field with a short simplified genre for collections. But I still would like to see the long detailed genre description.
I still believe that Calibre should manage natively subtitle field because it is still a metadata - even though not "core" - that should be acquired when importing an ePub.
I feel that I'm loosing something when subtitle is set for purchased books.
