    Your library was freaking me out. Lol my OCD was like no, all the areas need to be filled on. I organized my ebooks and my sure the Title, Author, Publisher and Publish Date and correct then if there is a series I add that. I love the metadata filter, I have spent hours fixing my ebooks. Love picking new covers too. Great video

    Same. Just learned the correct pronunciation too a few days ago. Been calling it " caleebray" for about a decade. Pretty sure I'm just going to keep calling it that anyway. It's one of those words that you just say in your head and almost never have the chance to say it out loud in real life.

    I love my Kobos and they support EPUB. I also have a Kindle for testing ebooks on, but I hate using kindlegen for everything I want to put on it. I don’t use Calibre for converting, only for storing EPUBs on my PC.
    And you can disable covers screensaver on kobos.

      I agree but the oasis has a flat screen with no ridge, an aluminium back place and automatic lighting adjustment, zero shell flex, is waterproof and 32gb storage for £220 (I think that was a sale price)
      Not saying its better for everyone but it ticked my boxes

    I've plugged in my Kindle Paperwhite, and under the Device menu I am trying to open the Metadata to get some covers, but its saying all the books have no metadata, am I missing a step to get the metadata from ebooks purchased from Amazon?

      If you downloaded them to your Kindle, they are physically on that device. Your not adding them to your account.

      I usually buy drm free from Baen Books. I haven't heard of Kobo, will check them out as well.

      Kobo isn't DRM free, it depends on the publisher. Kobo sells epub format, which uses Adobe's ebook drm

      Tor is a sci-fi/fantasy publisher that does not require DRM in their books.

    also kindles use amazons own awz-something format (which calibre can actually convert to pdf) which is great. the only reason i have it around...

  • @urugulu1656
    @urugulu1656 4 года назад

    pdf is actually useful because everybody probaly has a pdf reader around anyway while all the other formats are not as widely used and may require special software.
