Search for Books on Device
Can i search/filter for Books that are on my Device? Especially books NOT on my Device.
Example: I want to find all books in a certain format (mobi) not on my device. tx, mike |

If a device is connected, Calibre will show which books are on the device in a special column. I believe its lookup name is 'ondevice', so searching for 'formats:mobi and ondevice:false' should give you what you want. The caveat is that this will only work when a device is connected.

The Flip side
With your device connected, change to the Device view (main or SD Card). Now there is a column: "In Library" Search: inlibrary:false will show books on the device that are not in the Library |
