Add Series information to title?

Debby · 10-26-2011, 08:03 PM

Now that Stanza is dead I have been searching for a new reader. The one I currently like best is megareader unfortunately which has limited view options.

Is there any way to have Calibre2opds add the series information to the title?

Thank you!

No. To do so needs changing the metadata inside a book - not just the values displayed in the catalog.

I have been talking to Patrick Thompson (the author of MegaReader) about improvements I would like to see in it's library view (as i use the product myself) which include support for series view and I am hoping he can be persuaded to add this in a future MegaReader update.

One good thing is that Patrick is very responsive in fixing any issues that arise when MegaReader interacts with a calibre2opds generated catalog.

In the meantime it may be easier to simply go back to the calibre2opds catalog view in MegaReader when you want to know more about a series. The calibre2opds catalogs allow you to view series information readily enough.
