the introduction - what a show

AshleighM · 11-15-2018, 01:51 AM

I'm Ashleigh, fairly long time user but not particularly knowledgeable as to a lot of the the inner workings of Calibre. A friend introduced me to it about a decade ago...wow, how did that happen?

For the most part, it works fine, but I'm having a problem at present with trying to import/add a set of books from the Internet Archive, in that I'm not able to get Calibre to read the metadata from the filename. I'll be making a post about that over in Library Management, though.

Hello and welcome. Calibre, Calibre Companion and the technical forums are what keeps me lurking around here as well. And don't neglect the larger MobileRead community! It is a great place and I always mean to spend more time just chatting. I haven't posted for some months so I may be a hypocrite but the lounge is full of idle games and a great place to meet familiar faces. Hope to see you around!
