Essential Plugins
Hello All!!
My book collection is >700, and I am installing version 3.32. I want to organize my library in a manner that is "Simple & Clean." With a new install, which plugins do veteran Calibre users regard as the "Basic Essentials?" "I am not a programmer and I do not have a computer science degree, there must be more than just default settings for me." |

Here are the ones I have installed.
Note that some are device specific (Kobo and Kindle), so your choices might vary. Your choice of metadata sources may also vary. And some need to be obtained at Alf's place |

Aww, your responses are so helpful
I want the option of using Job Spy in the future, however, my understanding is that it only works in the older version. My status as a newbie implies that I could be misunderstanding, overlooking or overthinking something?? theDucks, I empathize with the kitten in your avatar, lol! Thanks for the tip All of these responses are helpful. Thank you, CalibreBee Last edited by Calibrebee; 02-08-2019 at 09:29 AM. |

Last time I updated my plugins, minimum required Calibre version for Job Spy is already 3.36 so that means 3.36 or newer. I don't think you can even install the latest Job Spy on older Calibre versions... |

If it's because that's what your Linux distro is offering, you should ignore it, always download calibre from the official calibre site ==>> https://calibre-ebook.com/ BR |
