4 Ways to Organise Your Kindle Library Using Calibre

Original version published on MUO on 17 February 2022.

I don’t now remember when I first learnt about Calibre, but it is AMAZING. Basically, it’s a hugely useful – if not very elegant-looking – e-book management software. It allows you to tag, sort, and otherwise play around with the e-books in your personal library.

You may find it less useful if all your books are from the Kindle store already. But I have a ton of side-loaded e-books, such as ARCs or books I bought from the Kobo store. In those situations, Calibre is way more functional.

And even if all your books are from Amazon, Calibre is still important. You can use it to strip the DRM (aka the stuff that makes it impossible to transfer your Amazon e-book files around) off your (LEGALLY PURCHASED) books, so you can send them to other devices, or edit the title or whatever. I’ll be discussing how to strip DRM in a future article. For now, here are four ways to organise your Kindle library using Calibre.

Author Interview: Angel Lawson & Samantha Rue

I don’t usually do author interviews, but every so often I’ll be hooked by a great book series and want to know more about the mastermind(s) behind it. The series in question is the Royals of Forsyth University – find my reviews here.

A huge thanks to Angel and Sam for doing this with me!

Immortals After Dark Series Review – Kresley Cole

This is exactly what it sounds like: a review for almost EVERY SINGLE BOOK in the 19-long IAD series, pulled together into one article. Well, barring a couple I’ve left off like the newest release Munro, which you can find a review of here. Though I first read these books a good ten years ago, I did a series reread recently in preparation for Munro, and I’ve only just got round to reviewing them.

A Beginner’s Guide to Reverse Harem Romance

Almost four years ago, I wrote this beginner’s guide to reverse harem (RH) romance novels, just as the genre was taking off in popularity. It’s a little basic now – there are a lot more – but I think it’s still a good primer for anyone new to RH.
