Something that is easy to handle for the end user? Once I have those it should not be a problem at all to add nearly every other of Calibre's columns, actually in my solution so far you can already use any column.īut my question, is there a better way to get the metadata to the device? In my opinion necessary are: author, title, path to book. I upload this CSV file to my reader and read all the necessary info out of that one.
What I use is Calibre's export catalog to CSV function. But this file is pretty huge and difficult to read, that's why I right now do not use this one neither. metadata.calibre that Calibre puts into the folder with your books. One way to use Calibre is to use the file. Some will send the files to Kobo, some to Kindle, and I choose a third way by connecting my library to a folder and load all the files into this folder and copy them via robocopy to my Kobos. I guess all of us use Calibre, but still there are different ways how we put our books to the device. I have all my books in one of those to make sure Nickel does not see my books, so my Kobo database does not have any metadata. I will not follow this way since it has a few disadvantages: First, different databases for Kobo and Kindle, and none for Android devices. I could read the data from the build-in reader.
#KOBO EBOOKS METADATA HOW TO#
I will work in the next days on that.īut there is still the question, how to get the metadata on the device?
The first part works already, I can search for books and it automatically opens the first book it finds, I "just" have to work on the second part, to show the search results. I'm working right now on an enhancement to add a search function to Koreader that allows a user to search for any text in any of Calibre's columns and then select a book from the list of results and open the book.
