And when I opened calibre, it displayed no books whatsoever. Since none of this worked as expected, I tried copying all the ebooks from the usb into the calbre library folder on the linux computer. If I select no to the above, it creates a mess of books and I had to delete the calibre library folder and start over. I didn't think I had mobi files, but for multiple books I saw it only added a mobi version of the ebook. If I select yes, I want to assume all books in a single folder are multiple versions of the same book, then it only adds one type, so like it will see the epub and ignore the rest. So I tried adding books from folders and subfolders. I tried using the add books option from the toolbar, adding books from a single folder, but that only drills down to a specific epub file and I have sometimes have multiple versions like epub and kepub. That worked on windows, I guess it doesn't work on linux. I can't seem to drag and drop books from the window into calibre on the linux. I'm not sure how many books I have, over 300 probably. So I basically copied the calibre folder on the windows machine to a usb and put the usb in the linux computer. I am switching to a linux computer that has 6.8 version. That should get the correct details from that site, but, you might also need to disable other metadata source plugins.So I had an old version of calibre on windows. This is handled in different ways by the various plugins.įor the book you are looking at, I think you will have to find the edition of the book you want manually and set the identifier. Some sites allow searches only on title, some allow author and title. If the title searches are done, it is again dependent on the plugin and site. If there is no match on the ISBN, the plugin will usually go to the title searching. If there is a match, it will probably be treated the same as for the site identifier. If the book has an ISBN, and the site supports ISBN searches, this will be used. Some can do the other checks, but not all. If the identifier is not found on the site, no more searches are done. It is assumed that it is the correct value for the book. In general, if there is an identifier for the site, that is all that is used. In general, each metadata source plugins checks: The metadata source plugins use two things to find books: identifiers and the title plus the author.
