Any suggestions for organization?

kl_0 · 02-07-2010, 11:39 PM

Hey everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone has found a good way of creating a "to read" list on calibre. When looking for a new book to read, I'd love to be able to just go to that list to pick a new one instead of sorting through my whole library.

I don't want to use the staring system, because I use that to rate my books.

Even a simple "read" or "unread" checkbox might be useful so you can quickly sort through read and unread books. How do I submit suggestions to the lovely creator of Calibre?

Thanks,

K

Why don't you just use tags? I have a 'done' tag (I don't use 'read' because then books tagged 'Mobile Read' come up too) and you can just filter those out using the browser.

Add a tag Queued. So you know you have it queued up and ready to go.
Once read, I add a tag "Read 2010"; last year it was "Read 2009".

Tag the ones that are new with something - unread, new etc. When you want an unread book, click on the luggage tag on lower left and then click on the tag you chose. Only the new books will show up. When finished, click it again to return to the normal view. You just have to remember to remove the tag when you read the book.

Use tags: Avoid (partial) words that might exist in normal tag use.
