I just wish it would not insist on forcing the user to use its library and only its library. Just like my music I prefer to organise my ebook files myself. With calibre that is not possible.

- maxerickson 13y agoContent library tools that refuse to index arbitrary content should be considered broken. The mindset that you can only index content if the canonical copy of the data is in your database is just awful. It's also at least a little bit problematic that there is little support for treating source books as special, which would be a nice feature given the fact that the convertors are not yet perfect (and last I looked they didn't work very hard to make semantically sensible conversions, which makes knowing the source book that much more valuable...).
- hannibal5 13y agoCalibre is not just indexing. It's also modifying data. Of course, if Calibre would have source book concept, it could treat arbitrary directory as sources and map converted and massaged documents and metadata to them.
