Thanks, Travger. I'll look at that.
And yes, I'm anal with regard to organisation. I don't want 7 different spellings for the same author or publisher, or a book that belongs to 10 genres. |

I import them to Calibre. . .
That's pretty much it. I don't strip DRM, don't use keywords, don't click on the stars.

Is it completely essential to strip DRM?
I just drag my entire library to Readmill, and all the books sync over to my iPhone/iPad without messy cables and Calibre and all that. It's rather good. Last edited by dreams; 02-28-2013 at 02:01 PM. Reason: please do not use shortened URL's - moderator |

I strip DRM because I don't know what device I will have in 10 years time. I don't know which file formats will be in vogue[*] and which will no longer be supported by proprietary firmwares. But I do know that my DRM-free files will be accessible. Because they are right now with programs that are open source.
[*]Probably still waiting for epub 3. |

travger - you can disable the downloading of tags in Calibre.
Preferences - sharing - Metadata download on the right hand side of the page is a section for metadata fields you can check/uncheck |

I know, but I do want some of them. So I chose to limit the amount. And it works only with downloading metadata, not if the tags are already in the file I'm adding.
