![]() ![]() Posted by irisclara at 5:58 PM on December 12, 2009 Anybody know of a good database for ebook collections? One that you can tell if several files are really the same book. It doesn't look for duplicates, and if you have a book in different formats it doesn't always see them as copies of the same book. If you try to use it to actually manage a collection it copies and renames every file you give it. I just wish I had something I could use to organize my collection without having to combine every possible utility into one huge mess. I'm not criticizing any of the developers, there really are a lot of needs and challenges to address. ![]() ![]() I guess if I knew Python, Calibre would be more useful but I don't so it's just barely better than using separate Amber converters. Hardware ebook readers drove me crazy because I had no way to fix anything. If I didn't have that it would take hours just to get a book into readable shape. I do all my ebook reading on my eee and I use Machine Age Reader to read and edit on the fly. Pretty please mods delete one.Ĭalibre takes longer to open (with no collection loaded) than adobe reader does. ![]() Posted by Garak at 5:55 PM on December 12, 2009 I eventually had to relent to the employee trapped behind the demo desk, who tried desperately to claim that this particular nook was "defective" and that's why it was so slow and confusing. So you tap "Read," but nook hears "Read" > "Warp you someplace random in the UI." Also, it's so goddamn slow opening eBooks that they cheat-instead of opening to the first page of the book, they open to the "description" of the book, which makes you think you did something wrong. The worst thing is that it gives no indication that it "heard" a keypress, so you frequently wind up tapping twice only to have it execute a menu item twice. I'm not ashamed to say I was completely flummoxed by nook. I played with one at B&N yesterday, and the first thing that came to mind was "total fucking train wreck." I'm disappointed, because I wanted someone to light a fire under Amazon's ass to improve Kindle and its content. The mediocre ratings for the Nook are breaking my heart :( I'm two margaritas in to my evening, so forgive my rambling, but: ![]()
