[QUOTE=kovidgoyal;3518675]Hi all,
After almost three years of on-and-off development, calibre 3.0 is now ready for beta testing!
Dear Kovid
Thank you for making a rather wonderfull piece of software. I am a writer of Biblical and Philosophical books and am currently putting a library together to make a new Bible for the Children of the Future. I am going back to the oldest and best biblical books which were left out f the bible - The Book of Enoch, The Sayings of Jesus, The Books of Adam and Eve, Noah, etc. I am typsetting them and colating them into a collection because it is more a problem of knowing which books are important among the many millions of books now readily available via the internet. That is the essence of my work.
Now, I just loaded 1.2 Calibre and have got the basics of my library up and going. The performance is great. Instant, in fact, on Linux Mint 17.
I don't want to lose that. Everything works fine. However, my originals ar in .ODT format, of which I have also created .PDF files manually with Libre Office, as a final product. These PDF files came out perfect. A lotbBetter than what comes out of Calibre.
I could not find a way to bring the two files together as one in Calibre. After I changed the Author and Title to be the same, they still showed as individual entries. Its important that the two high quality objects are in the library together, so that I can throw away my original files and maintain everything directly from inside Calibre. My question, I suppose, is if the version 3 can do this? I read that it is not advisable to put files into the Calibre folder structure manually, so I did not try that, yet it could be an option.
If you would like me to do a performance test agains of 3 against the older version, I would be happy to do that if you helped me with any problems I might get from the pre-release. And of course any bugs I would report also.
Once again, a very great thanks to you. Without you it would not be possible for me to do my work, as I live according to the rules of the holy people.
Best wishes
Adam
