Print List of Books in Calibre Library?

EmmEmm013 · 03-30-2018, 07:51 PM

I've just started using Calibre, and perhaps I'm missing something very obvious; but can Calibre print a list of books in it's library, or on a connected device?

Tried forum search but didn't find anything.

Thanks.

Hmm! This was asked in the last month

On the Conversion Icon: Right click: Catalog: choose CSV :select fields to include, then use your Fav spreadsheet to format
or
use the CLI
calibredb -list <options>

see the online help for Command line syntax

Yeah, as soon as this posted, I saw answers in the Similar Threads box below; not sure why multiple searches didn't find them.

Unfortunately it looks like there's no easy way to print a list of what's on my Kindle (but not in my Calibre library).

Thanks for the reply!

?? Why are the NOT in the Library?
If you can see them in Device View: select them: right-click: Add to Library

Note tha some formats may not be changeable or viewable, but the CAN be documented

If you have all the books in folders on your computer (like in the Calibre folders), why can't you go to DOS and do a DIR listing of all the folders and redirect the output to a .txt file and then print the .txt file (or possibly redirect the DIR list to the PRN)?

Well yeah, tried that but get this error msg:

calibre, version 3.20.0
Not Implemented: The following books are in KFX format. KFX is a virtual book format, and cannot be transferred from the device. Instead, you should go to your "Manage my content and devices" page on the Amazon homepage and download the book to your computer from there. That will give you a regular AZW3 file that you can add to calibre normally. Click "Show details" to see the list of books.

The books weren't actually on my PC but on my Kindle Voyage. I essentially ended up doing what you suggested, just from the Kindle's "drive" and via PowerShell, which was a bit messy.

BTW, while researching this I found an interesting hack for "Exporting a list of bought and borrowed Kindle books from Amazon" here:

Gotta love a good hack.
