ebook library - column for "language"
Hello, I am not sure, if my post is right here, but it was the best place I found.
It's about the ebook library https://www.mobileread.com/forums/ebo...e&pp=30&page=1 Would it not be a good idea to add a column for "language"? In my opinion that will make it easier to find books, when you are looking for a specific language. Thanks, |

Welcome to MobileRead.
This is, I guess, one of the things that will be solved when (if?) the whole library is revamped |

Hello abc-Schütze, you can type [German] in the "Search E-Books"-field on the site you've linked to, than (almost) all German books will be listet.

Or you could search for "german" or "deutsch" tags. I don't know if other uploaders do the same, but when I upload a book in a language other than English (LOTE), I add the language's name in the tags. The advantage of tags is that anyone can add them, so if you find a book in German that does not have a "german" or "deutsch" tag, please add them

Hello Billy and Jellby,
thanks for your help. I tried to search ebooks with "german" and it works perfectly. To add tags only seems to work, when I am logged in? |

abc-schütze, yes, it's only possible, when your logged in. It would be great if you could help with this!
Jellby, I fear your overestimating us a little bit. Only netseeker and mtravellerh tagged their uploads properly, but more or less all German books from the last half year are without any tags. Maybe you could add a hint in the "Book Uploads Posting Guidelines"? |
