"Add new Books" help
I'm a complete newbie here, just using the software for 3 days now, but so far, I love what I'm doing with it.
Wonder if someone can help me though. I only have a few hundred books, and am only adding a few at a time, but I'm finding that when importing/adding books, there is no easy way to identify them once added. It appears that they are inserted at the top of the current view, but as soon as you move from there, you lose that order. So my first question is am I missing an obvious solution to this problem. If not is there a way when adding, to insert the word "new" to a field (I'm thinking series or a user field perhaps - I don't rely on existing series info much, preferring to check and add my own info anyway). I've read the tutorial in regular expressions, and don't see how this will help as the word will not appear in the existing metadata anywhere. Also searched the forum, but didn't find any obvious answers. Thanks Colin |

Welcome to MobileRead.
Preferences -> Adding books There is an option to add a tag to your books when adding them (something like 00New works well if you want to make sure it is in front of other tags). You can also sort by the "Date" column which is the date the books were added. |

I'm not seeing the option to add the tag you suggest. I just can't get my head around this. I've tried a bit of reading on the turoeial, but just can't get me little brain around it. I think the sort date field might be one solution for me |

Another option is to sort by column "Modified", it will show the last books entered in.
