See the Guessing metadata from file names section, to learn how to configure this. In addition, it tries to guess metadata from the filename. The Add books action can read metadata from a wide variety of e-book formats.
This can be used to then manually fill out the information about a book that you may not have yet in your collection.Īdd from ISBN: Allows you to add one or more books by entering their ISBNs.Īdd files to selected book records: Allows you to add or update the files associated with an existing book in your library.Īdd an empty file to selected book records: Allows you to add an empty file of the specified format to the selected book records. It is a convenient shortcut that avoids having to first unzip the archive and then add the books via one of the above two options.Īdd empty book (Book Entry with no formats): Allows you to create a blank book record. you can Save to disk, delete the books and re-add them in single book per folder mode, with no lost information except for the date (this assumes you have not changed any of the setting for the Save to disk action).Īdd multiple books from archive (ZIP/RAR): Allows you to add multiple e-books that are stored inside the selected ZIP or RAR files. This action is the inverse of the Save to disk action, i.e. All e-book files in a folder are assumed to be the same book in different formats. calibre assumes that each folder contains a single book. You can choose whether to have calibre add all files present in a single folder to a single book record or multiple book records. The folder and all its sub-folders are scanned recursively, and any e-books found are added to the library. If you have selected the e-book reader device, the books will be uploaded to the device, and so on.Īdd books from folders and sub-folders: Allows you to choose a folder. If you have selected the Library, books will be added to the library. it depends on which catalog you have selected. Add books from a single folder: Opens a file chooser dialog and allows you to specify which books in a folder should be added.
