epub metadata in context menu?
Hi Folks,
My library has about 1200 books in it. I sometimes find I don't recall the specifics of the book just by looking at the title and author. Rather than firing up Calibre to browse them, it would be nice if I could just right-click on an epub file and get perhaps a thumbnail of the cover and\or the plot synopsis\comments displayed using a Windows shell extension. Has anyone heard of something with that functionality? Thanks! Ian |

FWIW - Epub Preview in Windows File Explorer - don't set your hopes too high

Hmmm... Tried both of those on my Win10 X64 machine, but neither works for me I'm afraid. Thanks though!
