Calibre - I Learned Something New

[jumpuphigh]

Did you know that you can use calibre to track your pbook library?  Or that you could use it to track wish list books?  YOU CAN!

That link leads to a demo-video.  While the version of calibre that she is using is 7.2 and the current version is 7.43, the differences in what she is showing are few and easily parsed.  You can just add a tag for "pbook" or "wish list" to differentiate these books from the ebooks that you have on your computer.  I think I am going to use it to track pbooks that I am getting rid of but that I'd like to own in eversions once DRM has died its slow death.

I am super-stoked about this particular bit of functionality.

Also, on a non-related note, I keep wanting to double-tap words everywhere (computer screen, pbook) in order to get definitions after using my ereader for just over 3 months.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! That's such a useful feature, especially if you read in foreign languages.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! :D It is so handy. I used to never look words up because it was such a hassle.

And isn't that embarassing? I keep trying to do that to vending and ticket machines, tapping madly at the picture to try and get the product and then realising that there is a keypad up top, where I need to actually type in a number... *eye roll* My friends think I'm weird anyway, so...
