My translation - you can now from within Calibre search for books to buy/download from a bunch of internet stores. So rather than searching through your internet browser - do it via Calibre and if you end up buying a couple of the developers will make some affiliate cash to help support their development in Calibre. I believe it will in many cases also put the downloaded book straight into your Calibre library for you. |

I think I know what's happening. By default when the dialog open Apply is grayed out and the restore defaults but is focused, so if you press enter/spacebar accidentally the default are restored. To confirm I'll fix the dialog to have the cancel button focused by default. |

The current cover was Blueish overlay. The description was clean text. I had to click another cover to see what the current one looked like. Note: I was doing a Metadata update , so I already had a current cover. |

Now I'm curious if Calibre will be able to tell one if a book is DRM infested or not? |

Kovid gave me a hint on this. I've added boolean and location specific search parameters. It's exactly the same as in the main GUI search but limited to fields showin in the store search. So you can do things like:
Code:
author:"george" and author:martin a game store:amazon Quote:
Right now no, but I plan to add this before the 0.8 release. |

I only got a chance to play with this this afternoon, but so far
A few things I noticed that might be useful to new users (not all about this version, but might be worth touching on while you're under the hood... ):
Damn, that's a long list. I hated to post a stream of posts, but would it be easier to handle/answer/check off things that way? If so, I can chop this into bits... Last edited by Piper_; 04-18-2011 at 10:21 PM. |

I can't get the "get books function" to work.

In my case (including a test just now) All I did was select Edit metadata (press E) then Clicked the settings button. All the Global options were already selected with the exception of Title. I clicked Authors to deselect it. Clicked apply. The Page closes so clicked settings once more and the Authors is now selected again. There was no use of the keyboard at all. I can reproduce this at will. BTW, this development pace, and the involvement of so many people in feedback which is responded to directly is amazing. |
