I'm looking at streamlining my book management. Currently, I keep my authors in a Word document, with books for each author, newest to oldest. So, periodically I can run through the authors and the library, and see if anything new is available.
Lately, I've been managing e-books in Calibre, so I figure I should move EVERYTHING over there... So, a couple questions...
Is there ANY effective way to export the Calibre data to another form? By effective I mean it'll provide me with something like a .csv file of all the data I see on the screen so I can recreate from a spreadsheet if I have to.
How do I get publication date for books into Calibre? And once I do, how do I have it sort by author, and books within author sorted newest to oldest?
Unfortunately, it looks like with all the publisher garbage going on, it's going to be a while before I DON'T have to keep reading on paper as well as electronically, so it'd be useful if Calibre could be set up to handle everything.
