rereading ebooks
I have a last read date set in Calibre but I also have both my ebooks and my physical books stored in the database.

What I'd like to do is filter so that only ebooks are displayed and for preference only those with a certain rating then sort them on date last read and hence copy the oldest to the device.

Suggestions please.

Thanks John

You can sort when filtered/in a VL/Saved Search
Do the search: Click the column (Again if the dir arrow is not your choice)

specify a size in the search

size: >30000 and size:<60000

(file)size is pretty arbitrary.
I suggest using count pages PI to populate custom columns and choose by words or pages

If your entries for the physical books have no formats then you can search for formats:true to find entries containing ebooks, or formats:false to find those that don't.
