Export booklist from Calibre?

calvin-c · 09-10-2013, 12:05 PM

When shopping for pbooks I'd like to have a list of all the books I currently own, including ebooks. Is it possible to generate from Calibre a list of all the books, preferably in Excel format? (CSV would be fine.) I don't need the books themselves (although I probably could put all of them on my phone if I got rid of other stuff & bought a new memory card-but I don't want to), only the title/author/series. Maybe pub date so basically I'd like it configurable like adding books to the devices-but without adding the books themselves.

There's so much stuff that can be done with Calibre it's probably easy to do this but I just haven't found the way yet. Thanks.

Click the down-arrow on the "Convert Books" button then choose "Create a catalog ...". Pick CSV format, pick the fields you want, the OK.

Ahh, I thought it would be easy if I could just find it. Thanks, Chaley, for guiding me to the right spot.
