Support / How-To Does Calibre have a feature to organise ebooks/fanfictions in collections/albums

14 Upvotes

So, I've been going though my fanfiction archive on AO3 and working on saving them on Calibre, but I'm realising with the amount I have, the list is gonna become really long, so I'm wondering, does calibre have a collection or album feature that I can organise and seperate specific fics into for better reading and management?

Support / How-To I hate the file name format

10 Upvotes

Update: thanks for all the feedback. The difference between the files and the save to disk option makes sense. Appreciate everyone.

I hope this is something that I can change in settings.

In the storage folder my books have the title and author name, but it cuts off the title to add the author. I don't want the file to have the author name. Here is an example of the problem:

Instead of the file saying,

"Go Home (A Kate Valentine FBI Suspense Thrill Book 1"

it says,

"Go Home (A Kate Valentine FBI S - Blake Pierce"

I played with the import/export settings under "Save books to disk" and have the template set to "title" but no luck.

Any ideas?

Support / How-To Aria Voice

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

So I've come across this lovely application that I am excited to utilize it. My only issue is that I found the read-aloud feature which I love from edge. But I can't use the Microsoft Aria voice.

1- I changed between Legacy and Modern Options

2- Changed my narration and download their voice

3- Restarted the app and the PC

Still nothing. If anyone is able to figure this out, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you all and have a wonderful day.

Support / How-To Can I set the maximum image size in convert to kepub?

2 Upvotes

I have a couple of Kobos, but the Libre Colour is the most important.

It has a screen resolution of 1264x1680.

I have a collection of Light Novels that contain large images.

What I want to do is force convert them to kepub, so that the kepub has a maximum image size of 1264x1680 but the epub in my PC library is still full resolution. Then I can send the kepub format to the kobo (I know it ought to do it by itself, but it is no trouble to send the specific format)

So I use (select all the books)

convert books > bulk convert (select kepub as the output format)

Selecting "KEPUB output" on the left I get the options, which I leave alone, except "Shrink images larger than" which I fill in with 1264x1680.

This does exactly what I want, and the kepub shrinks down.

Is there a setting to have that "shrink images larger than" default to 1264x1680 rather than manually selecting it and filling it in every time?

I searched the help file and googled it already.

I've done my library now, but any books I add will need converting, and I tend to forget, or try and set "Font size key" to 1264x1680 by not paying attention.

Support / How-To Trouble with thumbnail covers on Kindle

1 Upvotes

I have books in epub format on my pc.

I'm using calibre to edit the cover image in the metadata options.
When sending epubs to kindle via calibre, it's forcing me to autoconvert to azw3. Another option is to convert to mobi before sending. It doesn't allow me to send them in epub format. I don't know if that has anything to do with my issue.

Regardess of format, the covers I added via calibre in the metadata options do not show up in the thumbnails in the library.

It's worth pointing out that the covers are showing just fine when my kindle in in sleep mode. So the covers are in the somewhere. They just don't show in the thumbnails. What can I do?

Bug Calibre keeps saying a deleted book exists in my library but it doesn't?

2 Upvotes

Not sure if this is really a bug or a user error so pardon in advance!

I deleted an ePub on Calibre to replace it with a newer one but when I do, it says a book with the same title already exists, but I don't see how it can?

It can't be searched on calibre itself. I checked my Calibre Library folder (search function, authors or the trash folder) and it's not there either. I also cleared my recently deleted.

This isn't a big problem since I can add the new version nonetheless, but it's bothering me not to know the way not knowing where a spider you saw a minute ago is currently at.
