Frog Challenge Anthology [02] - 1001 Dark Nights Short Story Anthology 2020 - Fiona Archer & Louisa Bacio & Laura M. Baird & Kait Ballenger & Asa Maria Bradley & Eden Bradley & Boone Brux & C. G. Burnette & Cara Carnes & Caraway Carter & Sierra Cartwright & S. A. Clayton & Katana Collins & Janie Crouch & Patricia D. Eddy & Zoey Ellis & Zoe Hill & Sara L. Hudson & Tracey Jerald & A. D.

Maxwell & Kayt Miller & Dani René & Gen Ryan & Blue Saffire & Ella Sheridan & Mayra Statham & Delancey Stewart & Jen Talty & Mary Ting & Reina Torres & Magan Vernon & Jennifer Woodhull & Khloe Wren The filename that I send to her Libra 2 would be: Elib/Archer, Fiona/1001 Dark Nights Short Story Anthology 2020 - Fiona Archer I do truncate the author sort used for the first subdirectory under Elib and the author name appended to the title to the first author name which is trivial to do under calibre. I never need to look at the filename since the series information and all the authors are stored in the device database so I can search on any of series, author, title, subtitle. Please let me know how you would configure a directory structure to allow locating that book by any author, the title or the series in a minimal number of taps/keystrokes. |

I use Koreader because the reader itself is superior to the stock reader. I like the options, the most important being the clock in the header. I read late at night, and that clock is useful. With the stock reader, I had to tap the middle to see the time. |

As a Sage owner who uses KOReader for 98% of my reading my first piece of advice is - ignore the arrant nonsense about it only having one advantage over the stock reader. Utter balderdash. That said, I'd echo the advice to make good use of the calibre metadata search function. It's how I search my Sage library and if you assign your genres and subgenres as tags, they will all be searchable. As will series and author, in addition to titles of course. By assigning multiple tags to a book, it will show up in each of those result sets, which may be close to what you were after. You can assign a shortcut to access the metadata search or perhaps even easier, a gesture. I use gestures A LOT, they are one of the many customisation features of KOReader that I find make it infinitely preferable to the stock reader |

I do use KOReader almost exclusively on all my devices
Never had any issue with the metadata search. I have a few gestures to jump to series/tags and other that pops up the main search interface. For a few hundreds or thousands of books it should be pretty snappy (ie: search in less than 0.1s) Anyhow, the search part of the calibre plugin in KO is undocumented, so if somebody of the current users would want to make it easier for other interested parties feel free to fill the void in https://github.com/koreader/koreader...etadata-search. Much appreciated |

I use KOReader and Calibre and browse my books in the imported directory structure. I have a column in my Calibre database where I store the target path and then a slightly hacky "save template" to ensure that the files are stored in that structure on my device.
My paths are generally Fiction/Non-Fiction followed by one or two sub-directories (author or genre/sub-genre) - I try not to go too much deeper as there is still only a limited path length. |
