Detect all books not on device

Larla · 11-28-2016, 08:06 PM

I have a virtual library that represents the books on my Kobo Glo HD. When I get new books I put them in the virtual library and periodically copy them to the device.

To simplify this operation is there a search script that would display all books in the virtual library that are not currently on the connected device?

Thanks --

search: Ondevice: false

Only works when the column is present

Using the Reading List plugin I add all new books to a 'New' Reading List. This is then automatically synced with my device(s) when they are connected (and the list then cleared).

I also use this plugin to automatically add a 'OnDevice' tag for the books currently on my ereader so I can easily see which books I have on it even when it is not connected.

Thanks guys == I'll start out using the search term but the plugin looks interesting and that may be my long term solution.

One point -- the search string worked but I had to remove the space between the colon and false.

Thanks again --
