How to Use Calibre for More Than Just Books

Rough draft! Warning! Incomplete!

  • your ebook collection
  • your TBR including physical TBR if you want
  • your wishlist (as as an empty book)
  • your to-read list (using a plugin)
  • add your reviews to each book

technical

  • remove DRM
  • add nicer book covers
  • convert to different formats
  • send books to ereader
  • online server
  • sync to Goodreads
  • full-text search
  • Magazines
  • Audiobooks
  • News website feeds
  • Journal articles
  • Fanfic
  • Podfic
  • Fanzines
  • Pub nam = Author
  • Issue ID = Title
  • Series = Fandom OR make a tag or separate custom column
  • Description has the artists/writers
  • Custom column for pairings? ratings?

considerations:

titles have to be unique or they'll be considered duplicates which can be annoying when trying to tidy up a library

multi-fandom zines - where do you put the fandom text then? series doesn't work
