I was just wondering

How many people treat their Calibre library management as a hobby rather than a "destination"?

What I mean is, how many people look at the management of their libraries, their books, and (if they have one) their Goodreads accounts as an actual hobby to spend time working on (when not actually reading books).

I know I can spend many hours a day just getting lost in the changing, editing, or improving of my library (s) and I wanted to know if this is just me or if others look at their Calibre libraries as more than just a way to hold their books.

Yes, me too, certainly. I enjoy working on my Calibre library.

If you add modifying plugins for tayloring to my needs, count me in

@Terisa de morgan,

I hear you on that one... I have lost entire afternoons simply finding and updating my icons...

I spend a lot of time manipulating my library with Calibre.

Well, I spend a lot of time too - mostly to catalogue traditional books in a time where metadata was something like a foreign language for publisher.
