Edit a converted book - Page 2

I have enjoyed reading the argument about Metadata - a word that meant nothing to me until I started using Calibre. Pleased to see the input from Kovidgoyal too. It puts both a name and a face to Calibre, which, although not yet perfect, does a great job and it is free too.

You like potato and I like potahto,
You like tomato and I like tomahto;
Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto!
Let's call the whole thing off!

A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet. So, no matter what you call it, it serves the same function.

The problem may be getting newbies to learn a little about the concept of storing all this information about one file in a separate file and that I can actually load an empty book, create all the information about it and not even have the book. Some people may think the information they are adding is getting added to the book file itself.

You would think, if you have a book cataloging program for your thousands of books, you shouldn't have any aversion to reading a little to learn about how the program works.

Right?
