Maybe we should have a column for "Import Method" (Dropbox, email, etc.) and a column for "In-app Book Deletion". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Broberds (talk • contribs) 19:03, 24 October 2011
- Good idea. As part of "import method", we should definitely list Calibre, which seems to be the most commonly-mentioned grievance for apps that don't do it.
- Under "Display features", what about adding "Customize paragraph space"?— Preceding unsigned comment added by HPG (talk • contribs) 01:27, 25 October 2011
- Basically, "Import method" should be specified in Book source management features, I think. If there's a very common method, we could add a column for it. If it's less common, a "Miscellaneous" column and listing the methods in one of its cells would be nice, wouldn't it?
- "In-app Book Deletion" certainly sounds like a good idea but is there any reader out there not allowing that? Even the Kindle app allows for "archiving" ebooks which, due to its nature, is, IMHO, similar to deletion.
- The import method "Calibre" would be OPDS or its Bonjour/Zeroconf feature or both?
- "Customize paragraph space" sounds good to me! Adding a column is really simple - add a line both in the header and footer listing of table columns and the corresponding line for the values. Here's the corresponding Help page. —Philantrop (talk) 04:56, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
Yes, believe it or not, Kobo doesn't let you delete books except through iTunes. It was my favorite until I found that out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Broberds (talk • contribs) 12:19, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, that's really weird. I've added that as a note among the Special features for Kobo. (Btw, you can sign your comments by writing four tilde characters.) —Philantrop (talk) 16:46, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
