Just A Thought...

[IndigoMoon]

I have a large number of ebooks and while putting them into categories helps I really wish I could put all books in a certain category in a named folder and just click that to access those books. If I could have just the folders appear at first that would be awesome. I wouldn't have to search and scroll as much to get to a particular category of books.

Virtual libraries

In calibre, a Virtual library is a way to tell calibre to open only a subset of a normal library. For example, you might want to only work with books by a certain author, or books having only a certain tag. Using Virtual libraries is the preferred way of partitioning your large book collection into smaller sub collections. It is superior to splitting up your library into multiple smaller libraries as, when you want to search through your entire collection, you can simply go back to the full library. There is no way to search through multiple separate libraries simultaneously in calibre.

You can tab the virtual libraries like in a web browser.

Or use a saved search. There are several ways you can group and sort your books in Calibre, much better and faster than just dumping them in a folder. And you won't have to scroll to find something.

In addition to virtual libraries and saved searches, you can create user categories as well. I use all three of these methods to organize my library.
