A specific epub catalog

chibimaya92 · 09-24-2023, 05:51 PM

Hello,
I try to find if another thread exist about it, i didn't find it but if it already exist, please share it with me x)

I want to create a epub catalog but Calibre don't let me add more features and information than Author, Title, Series...
I want for example to add the number of page or the ISBN

Do you know if it's possible ? or if a pluggin can do it ?

(I am doing a thread in french too)

Page number can be added using the Count Page plugin. There is a plugin to get the ISBN, but it doesn't always get the correct ISBN for eBooks that have multiple ISBN's listed i.e. hardcover, paperback, eBook. I don't know the name of that plugin off-hand.

A CSV (used by most spreadsheets) allows field selection.

Try this:

Create a CSV catalogue with the columns you want,
Open it with CSVFileView (from nirsoft),
Convert to HTML,
Make an epub from that.

I've not done Step 4.

There are two types of epub catalog.
One with discription, in which case you can use the extra field at the bottom of the dialog for your information.
That one without description also allow additional details but you need to adjust the related template.
In both cases I recommend to prepare your additional data to have them in one field.

You should find all details where to adjust catalog in the calibre help document.
