Oops! My first go at displaying the image failed miserably. I've attached it instead

... and finally ... the Cover thumbnails a little bigger. There appears to be enough room in the Description page header area, but i don't know whether the EPUB would become too big. Any of the above would be great Thank you for your efforts so far. |

This may sound like a weird question but what is the purpose of the catalog?

The catalog works without having Calibre installed, only a reader appropriate for the saved format. CSV works in Excel or Open Office calc. |

Using Calibre 0.6.37, (on OSX Snow Leopard) the catalog creation fails if there are one or more books which do not have an author. I took a quick look, and I didn't notice this reported. Here's the error that pops up:
Code:

Update: My first book's title was Catch-22, I renamed it Catch 22 and it has moved beyond this error.
Here is my current error when attempting to create a catalog. Calibre 0.6.37 Code:

First of all, this is a great add-on. Thanks for all the work!
Regarding the following: Quote:
'Go to Las Page Read' 'Go to Beginning' 'Go to Location...' I don't get 'Go to Section...'. Did I forget sthing while building the catalog? Last edited by aceflor; 02-02-2010 at 07:00 AM. |

I agree it would be slick to be able to jump directly from the catalog to the book. If someone knows how to do that, I can try adding it. G |

Amazon may or may not release a firmware update with folders, but IMHO the only thing that's really missing from the Catalog is the ability to jump straight from a catalog description to the actual book. I'm still hoping that will be possible, maybe when the KDK is released. In the meantime, you can type the name of the book in the search field, toggle right twice to search 'My Items', then jump to the book. Since I use the catalog as my primary means of browsing my Kindle, I leave the Home page set to 'Subscriptions' (the catalog shows up as a periodical on the Kindle). Now I have a nice, uncluttered Home page with today's papers and catalog interface to my books. Make sense? G |
