Best way to dump list of owned books

jlc · 01-03-2009, 04:59 AM

I would like to export the titles and authors of all the books in my eBook Library. What would be the best/easiest way to do this?

The eBook Library program doesn't allow copy/pasting of page content, and it seems impossible to login via regular browsers.

That is an interesting question. I too wish that I knew the answer.

you could pipe it out using dos? if you know where the books are stored, go to it via start > run > type "cmd" enter. navigate to the books folder (ie "d:" enter, "cd books" enter), then "dir /s/a > booklist.txt".

This will produce a full list of all your books in a text file. you'll need to spruce it up a bit as it'll have directory and file size info in.

(works for me!)

If you have Calibre installed:

Code:

prs500 books >list.txt
