When you purchase, let's just say a few good books (in case our spouse's are reading the forum also); what's the first thing you do? I usually make sure my favorites are in their perspective collections and tag the ones I want to read later.
Report metadata errors. Yes, that is the accurate answer for the libraries I've purchased in the last 6 months.
I tag mine, and I also add them as 'empty books' in my Calibre library (which is a whole other process by itself).
If some of them were dictionaries or other reference books, I would take a look to see if I want them to be prioritized.
I tag them all. Then, I re-title for commentaries, and specialty books. Then, I review for 'meh', 'needed whenever', and 'oh my!' The latter get read-next tagging. Finally, I review for inclusion in my layout.
Knowing pride precedes the fall, I sit back and admire.
I attempted to do similar using Library Thing. It was useful because it will provide all the book info and a cover, and under "collections" (used differently than how Logos does it), I could list where it is - Logos, Kindle, Calibre, Print (and select multiple if I had it in print and also in Logos). But I've got far too many books and just not enough time.
I don't remember my Logos library count when I first started but it may have been about 2000 books. It was a lot of initial work to get it going; starting out when you already have a huge library would probably be a pain. If you simply want a copy of your Logos library in Calibre, that’s simple enough; getting clean, useful data, along with book covers and book descriptions is where the hard work comes in.
Over the years I've refined (and *documented!) the process of getting the data out of Logos and into Calibre, so that now it's a very smooth operation. I've also extended the usefulness of my Logos books in Calibre by including the Logos resource IDs as identifiers in Calibre. Each Logos book has two identifiers in Calibre; one identifier enables me to open a Logos book in the desktop app directly from Calibre. The other identifier allows me to open a Logos book in the mobile app directly from the Calibre Sync app. These two capabilities make the work worth it.
But I've got far too many books and just not enough time.
Doing a bit at a time, when you're able, goes a long way. Oftentimes I was working on only 10 books at a time, due to time constraints. I thought I would never get done! But I did 😊
(*Documented because there were too many occasions when I forgot a step or two and had to start the process from scratch 😔)
Noticed this new prepub on a technical point of Semitic linguistics, and it's from EISENBRAUNS! Does that mean there's a new agreement with the publisher? Will Waltke/O'Connor reappear on the offerings?
Is there a setting on selecting text works. I am trying to select text but it selects more than what I want. On the photo I want the text "but to wait for the Promise of the Father" but it selects the word which also.
I have A LOT of notes that I am importing. I really need to stress that these are a lot of notes, and there are lot of anchors on my notes. Some of my notes have 30+ anchors. I am planning on exporting all my notes just to be safe, and I understand how to do that. However, I recently stumbled on a thread which said that…
Is it possible to get on Desktop the same working of reading plan than on mobile. By this I mean, when you have created a reading plan with periscope, on mobile it only shows that reading section, but on desktop it shows the complete chapter.
One concern that I had before purchasing Logos was the fact that I already have a decent library of paper-and-ink books. I understood that I could add those books as a "print library" so that I would be able to access them in the same way that I can access the book's purchased through Logos. So I entered a few dozen books…
