Workflow
Adding a book
The easiest way to add a book is by running the book search plugin. It will create a file for the book in the Personal/Reading/Books/To Read.
Changing Reading Status
I maintain a complete log of reading status that can be cumbersome to edit manually. To do it easily:
- Go to the book you want to work on.
- Run the
Book Statustemplate. - Choose the desired status, and the rest will be taken care of.
Templates
In templates, besides the important ones, there are some utility templates. e.g.:
- Boox Note: to convert highlights exported from the Boox devices.
- KOReader Highlights: to convert highlights exported from KOReader.
Usage of these templates is explained in detail on https://hermitage.utsob.me
