\t\t\t\tCalibre allows you to edit metadata of your books like e.g. Tags, I call that categories. And I love using categories (from DMOZ.org). But if I change book metadata in calibre, they stay in calibre’s database \u2013 until I do “Save to disk” \u2013 but then the updated books still go to a separate directory tree \u2013 this may be on purpose \u2013 but I would rather like to get the books updated “in place”, i.e. the books themselves that I included myself.<\/p>\n
Likewise with bookmarks, and “selections”, i.e. “marked areas” \u2013 the Mac’s “iBooks” has that feature, calibre not yet, but I wished it had them, because that’s a rather nice feature.<\/p>\n
The books will hopefully survive for a while, calibre’s database is rather “transient”, just as iBooks’ database is. That’s the idea.<\/p>\n
I quite like iBooks’ nice extra features, like commenting \u2013 they drive innovation. But I don’t like the mysterious store, where its memory is kept, i.e. the proprietary database.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
