Kobo Touch - is it possible to search on tags ???

johnson2 · 02-17-2012, 10:28 AM

In calibre, I go to a lot of trouble to organize my library using tags. But that seems to be useless when I load the books onto my touch where I can search by Title, Author and Keyword. What is a Keyword, part of a title ? I don't think it's looking at tags at all but that would be a great addition to the next release of the Kobo Touch firmware. Or am I missing something ???

Welcome to mobileread, johnson2.

No, the KT doesn't seem to recognise the tags classifying books as Classic, or Mystery or whatever. I think quite a lot of people would like to have that facility, but I'm not aware that it's "in the pipeline". However we do have some people in mobileread who are beta testers, so one of them may know more.
