Pick multiple random books?
I know that Viewer has the option to randomly select a book but does Calibre itself have an option to randomly select/highlight multiple books? Or is there a plugin that will do that?
Basically I have a lot of unread books and sometimes it's easier to pick, say, 10 books randomly to choose from for uploading to my kindle than trying to scroll through a couple thousand. |

Found it. Thanks.
It would be nice if there was a way to select/highlight multiple books. I do have a large, ever changing vl of books I know I want to read next. Being able to randomly select a group at once would be nice. Just a thought. |
