Downloaded Calibre - a free library type program. I was given a flash stick with 9000+ books so uploaded them to Calibre. Brilliant. Can sort, add comments, rate the books, send to my Kindle, see all the titles instead of just a list of Authors as on the stick I was given.
So - if you have a huge library on your computer that you want to manage easily try Calibre - beats the excel spreadsheet I was playing with

I have my eBooks and audio books on my iPad in a bookcase called iBooks. It has the cover of every book on the shelves. I love the books all lined up ready for the taking.
I have heard Calibre is good.

Hi spida, I have Calibre as well and was given loads of books. Unfortunately some of them do not convert properly to the kindle and I have tried different forms of publishing. I downloaded Calibre because it was supposed to convert non Amazon books to kindle format but not having much success with this. Any tips will be most appreciated.

I use calibre. we recently upgraded from a kobo to a kobo Glo If you use calibre maybe this book store will be of interest, The books come in PDF format and convert to epub. Readers can handle PDF but you dont get the full effect of your reader In case I cant upload the booklist email ebook.hq.fl@gmail.com Just an example 101 James Patterson books are $12
not sure what happened here the full book list didnt upload, maybe it was to big, about 9 meg

I know some of the 9000 books I was given on a stick wont convert because they are still under copyright - EG 50 Shades of BORING Grey! I havent had to convert any of mine for the Kindle so cant help with that. I do know you set up your 'device' when you first use Calibre.
Just in case you havent found it yet - right click on the header line (Title, Author etc) then select 'Edit Metatags' - lots of fun there. Can add your own comments, put books into their correct 'series' order .........
