Hi, I'm a Dutch retiree and use Calibre a long time to collect my ebook-collection. I am very pleased with this program and use it almost every day. My collection of Dutch ebook exceeds 45.000 books and I'm still going on adding new books almost every day.
I will pose a suggestion that possibly has been made before, but I did not look throught all messages.
What I like to see as an option is a database for authors, where you can put some more detailed information about them.
The only thing I can do now with your program is see my collection of ebooks, but nothing about the author himself.
I often think when reading a book, who is the person that wrote this. It may be helpfull in understanding them.
Do you think this is a possibiliy?
Thank you for your program up till now.
Regards,
Rob de Louw

Hello and welcome to MobileRead!

As to your suggestion, you should post it in the Calibre subforum:

One option to get what you want would be to create a custom column (long text like comments) and put the author information there.
