Stop organizing your ebooks like they’re just a tired pile of documents and start organizing them in style with Calibre—an open source ebook organizer that supports metadata, cover flow, format conversion, and more.

停止像整理一堆乏味的文件那样来组织您的电子书,并开始使用Calibre(一种支持元数据,封面流程,格式转换等功能的开源电子书组织器)进行样式化的组织。

为什么口径? (Why Calibre?)

Calibre is an absolutely fantastic application for organizing your ebook collection. It supports 22 ebook formats including MOBI, EPUB, LIT, PDF, and more. It can accept those 22 formats and convert them to 16 formats, with customized output for dozens of specific ebook readers including the Kindle, Nook, Sony Readers, and more.

口径是用于组织电子书收藏的绝对出色的应用程序。 它支持22种电子书格式,包括MOBI,EPUB,LIT,PDF等。 它可以接受这22种格式并将其转换为16种格式,并为包括Kindle,Nook,Sony Readers等在内的数十种特定电子书阅读器提供定制输出。

The interface is polished, easy to use, and makes managing your ebook collection like managing a media collection through popular media management applications such as iTunes. You’ll be able to easily download covers, metadata, and tags from online databases and browse your collection using that information.

该界面精美,易于使用,使您可以管理电子书收藏,就像通过流行的媒体管理应用程序(例如iTunes)管理媒体收藏一样。 您将能够轻松地从在线数据库下载封面,元数据和标签,并使用该信息浏览您的收藏。

On top of all that Calibre is open source and available for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.

最重要的是Calibre是开源的,可用于Windows,Mac和Linux操作系统。

我需要什么入门? (What Do I Need to Get Started?)

You don’t need much to get started with Calibre, to follow along with this guide you’ll need the following:

您不需要太多的Calibre入门知识,就可以按照本指南进行操作,并且需要满足以下条件:

  • A copy of Calibre for your operating system

    适用于您的操作系统的Calibre副本

  • A folder or drive to serve as a new home for your collection

    文件夹或驱动器用作收藏的新家
  • Some books to add into your Calibre database

    一些要添加到您的Calibre数据库中的书

Once you have a copy of Calibre installed and you’ve grabbed a few books to use as test subjects as you follow along with the tutorial, you’re ready to go.

一旦安装了Calibre的副本,并且在学习本教程的同时,您已经掌握了几本书作为测试主题,就可以开始了。

安装和配置口径 (Installing and Configuring Calibre)

2011-09-13_120553

For this tutorial we’re going to be using the portable Windows version of Calibre. Once you unpack the portable version or install the traditional version there is no difference in operation. The primary reason we’ve opted to go with the portable version is because it allows us to pack Calibre right along with our ebook collection using the following directory structure:

在本教程中,我们将使用便携式Windows版本的Calibre。 打开便携式版本的包装或安装传统版本后,操作就没有区别。 我们选择使用便携式版本的主要原因是因为它允许我们使用以下目录结构将Calibre和我们的电子书一起打包:

/Ebook Library/

/电子书库/

/Calibre Portable/

/口径便携式/

/Ebooks/

/电子书/

/temp/

/临时/

Thus we can easily backup the entire library, management app and all, at once. If you’re not using the portable version don’t stress about not putting everything together. Calibre stores all information (meta data and covers) in each unique book directory.

因此,我们可以轻松地一次备份整个库,管理应用程序以及所有内容。 如果您不使用便携式版本,请不要强调不要将所有内容放在一起。 Calibre将所有信息(元数据和封面)存储在每个唯一的书目录中。

When you run Calibre for the first time it will prompt you to select the language you want to use and the location of your library. Make sure to create a new folder for your new Calibre library. We’re going to import your old ebooks into Calibre and let Calibre manage the directory structure. In our case we’re pointing Calibre at /Ebook Library/Ebooks/.

首次运行Calibre时,它将提示您选择要使用的语言以及库的位置。 确保为您的新Caliber库创建一个新文件夹。 我们将把您的旧电子书导入Caliber,并让Caliber管理目录结构。 在我们的案例中,我们将Calibre指向/ Ebook Library / Ebooks /。

2011-09-13_120758

In the second step you tell Calibre what ebook reader you use. If you don’t use one go ahead and leave it as Generic/Generic e-ink device. If you do use one select the appropriate device such as Amazon/Kindle.

在第二步中,您告诉Caliber您使用什么电子书阅读器。 如果您不使用它,请继续将其保留为通用/通用电子墨水设备。 如果您确实使用一种设备,请选择适当的设备,例如Amazon / Kindle。

2011-09-13_121421

In the third step you can configure Calibre to email documents to your ebook reader, such as to your Kindle’s email address. If you have a device that supports such a service we recommend you configure it now. After configuring your email service, click finish.

在第三步中,您可以配置Caliber以通过电子邮件将文档发送到电子书阅读器,例如Kindle的电子邮件地址。 如果您的设备支持这种服务,我们建议您立即对其进行配置。 配置电子邮件服务后,单击“完成”。

2011-09-13_122025

At this point Calibre should launch and you should see a screen like the one above with an empty library—save for the Calibre Quick-Start Guide. The setup wizard should have all the major settings already configured for you, if you need to tweak anything in the future click on the Preferences icon or press CTRL+P to access the configuration menu.

此时,Calibre应该启动,您应该会看到如上所示的屏幕,其中有一个空的库,请参阅《 Caliber快速入门指南》。 安装向导应该已经为您配置了所有主要设置,如果以后需要进行任何调整,请单击“首选项”图标或按CTRL + P进入配置菜单。

向口径添加书本 (Adding Books to Calibre)

2011-09-13_122457

Now it’s time to start adding books to Calibre. Grab some free books online or some books you’ve already collected. For the purposes of this tutorial we downloaded some free ebooks from around the web and placed them, temporarily, in the /Ebook Library/temp/ folder.

现在是时候开始向Calibre添加书籍了。 在线获取一些免费书籍或您已经收集的一些书籍。 出于本教程的目的,我们从网络上下载了一些免费的电子书,并将它们暂时放置在/ Ebook Library / temp /文件夹中。

You can add books in one of several ways. Choose carefully. If you’re going to make a mess anywhere in the process of using Calibre it’s right here—we speak from experience. Here’s a quick primer:

您可以通过以下几种方式之一添加书籍。 谨慎选择。 如果您在使用Caliber的过程中到处乱糟糟,那就在这里-我们经验丰富。 这是一个快速入门:

Add books from a single directory: Opens a dialog box. You pick the books you want to add manually from a directory of files. Best for selecting single books or a few books in a single format.

从单个目录添加书籍:打开一个对话框。 您从文件目录中选择要手动添加的书。 最适合选择单一格式的书籍或几本书籍。

Add books from directories, including sub-directories (One book per directory, assumes every ebook file is the same book in a different format): If you already have a batch of books sorted into folders (the titles and organization of the folders doesn’t matter as long as each folder only has different-format copies of the same book) this is the one you want.

从目录(包括子目录)中添加书籍(每个目录中的一本书,假定每个电子书文件都是同一本书,格式不同):如果您已经将一批书籍分类到文件夹中(文件夹的标题和组织不存在)只要每个文件夹只有同一本书的不同格式的副本,这都是您想要的。

Add books from directories, including sub-directories (Multiple books per directory, assumes every ebook file is a different book): If your books are in multiple directories but every book is different this is the one you want. This command assumes that every directory in the directory structure you point it at has books in it and those books are all different. It’s worth it to do a little manual sorting and use the prior one-book-per-directory command as this one can sometimes make a mess you’ll need to spend a few minutes tidying up.

从目录(包括子目录)中添加书籍(每个目录中有多本书,并假设每个电子书文件都是一本不同的书):如果您的书位于多个目录中, 但每本书都不相同,则这就是您想要的书。 该命令假定您指向的目录结构中的每个目录都有书籍,并且这些书籍都是不同的。 进行一些手动排序并使用先前的“每目录一本书”命令是值得的,因为此命令有时会造成混乱,您需要花几分钟的时间进行整理。

For a more detailed look at the add command, refer to the Calibre manual here.

有关add命令的详细信息,请参阅此处Calibre手册

We downloaded our free ebooks into the /temp/ directory with no special folder organization. It’s simply one directory with a bunch of ebooks in it. In this instance we can use the first option, Add books from a single directory:

我们将免费的电子书下载到/ temp /目录中,没有特殊的文件夹组织。 这只是一个目录,里面有一堆电子书。 在这种情况下,我们可以使用第一个选项“从单个目录添加书籍”:

2011-09-13_131501

Depending on how many books you’re adding this process can take anywhere from a few seconds to a half hour or more as Calibre extracts information from the incoming books. If you’re planning on adding a large library we’d recommend starting with a small chunk, maybe 5-10 books to practice with, and then move up to importing larger portions.

根据Calibre从接收的书籍中提取信息,此过程可能要花费几秒钟到半小时甚至更长的时间,具体取决于您要添加的书籍。 如果您打算增加一个大型图书馆,我们建议从一小块开始,也许要练习5-10本书,然后再逐步导入更大的部分。

After Calibre finishes adding your books you should see them listed in the main pane. Our five books, downloaded from Project Gutenberg, look good—the author and title are all properly placed. Unfortunately Project Gutenberg doesn’t supply covers with their books, they all have a generic look ebook reader icon in place of cover data. In the next step we’ll tidy things up.

Caliber完成添加图书后,您应该会在主窗格中看到它们。 我们从古腾堡计划(Project Gutenberg)下载的五本书看起来不错,作者和书名都放置正确。 不幸的是,古腾堡计划(Project Gutenberg)的书没有提供封面,它们都有一个通用的外观电子书阅读器图标来代替封面数据。 在下一步中,我们将整理一下。

在口径中编辑元数据 (Editing Metadata in Calibre)

2011-09-13_131936

Let’s take a look at how we can tidy up the entries and get some new covers. There are two ways you can go about getting additional meta data and covers, you can individually edit items or you can bulk scan them. If your library look pretty clean (as our does) you can likely get away with bulk scanning. If you’ve got a bunch of jumbled titles and authors, however, you’ll want to go with the manual one-by-one updating to make sure you can spot check each entry.

让我们看一下如何整理条目并获得一些新的封面。 您可以通过两种方式获取其他元数据和封面,可以单独编辑项目,也可以批量扫描它们。 如果您的资料库看起来很干净(就像我们一样),则可以进行批量扫描。 但是,如果您有一堆乱七八糟的标题和作者,那么您将希望进行手动的一对一更新,以确保可以对每个条目进行检查。

2011-09-13_132245

First let’s look at what a manual edit looks like. Right click on any book in your library you want to manually edit. We’ll start right at the top with Ulysses. Select Edit metadata and then Edit metadata individually. Note: you can highlight more than one book and still select Edit metadata individually and you’ll be presented with the metadata panel for each book one by one.

首先,让我们看一下手动编辑的外观。 右键单击图书馆中您要手动编辑的任何书籍。 我们将从Ulysses的顶部开始。 选择编辑元数据 ,然后单独编辑元数据 。 注意:您可以突出显示一本书以上,并且仍然选择“单独编辑元数据”,然后将为您显示每一本书的元数据面板。

In the Edit Metadata menu you’ll see all the data Calibre has for the selected book including title, author, series/number (if applicable), which formats the library contains, and the cover. We’re going to leave the author and title alone as they are already properly sorted. The cover is rather lackluster though. Let’s click download cover and see what the databases turn up.

在“编辑元数据”菜单中,您将看到Caliber对于所选书籍的所有数据,包括书名,作者,系列/编号(如果适用),库包含的格式以及封面。 我们将不理会作者和标题,因为它们已经正确地排序了。 封面虽然没有光泽。 让我们单击下载封面并查看数据库的内容。

2011-09-13_132707

The Project Gutenberg edition has no official cover so we can pick from two covers discovered through Google and Amazon.com. If neither is satisfactory we can hit cancel and go manually find an image online and then drag and drop the file into the Edit Metadata pane onto the Cover spot to manually add it. The Amazon.com provided cover looks good to us, we’ll take that one.

古腾堡计划(Project Gutenberg)版本没有官方封面,因此我们可以从通过Google和Amazon.com发现的两个封面中进行选择。 如果都不满意,我们可以单击“取消”,然后手动在线查找图像,然后将文件拖放到“编辑元数据”窗格中的“封面”位置以手动添加它。 Amazon.com所提供的封面对我们来说看起来不错,我们会接受的。

Back in the Edit Metadata window we have a fresh cover and a decent amount of metadata. There’s no rating and it might be nice to update the tags. Press the download metadata button to do so. Calibre will poll Google and Amazon again and present multiple versions of the book. You can check the rating, reviews, and tags for each source and select from them based on your preference (if the book is of the generic variety like a Project Gutenberg release) or for the exact Publisher/Edition if applicable.

回到“编辑元数据”窗口,我们有了新的封面和相当数量的元数据。 没有评分,最好更新标签。 按下下载元数据按钮即可。 Calibre将再次对Google和Amazon进行投票,并展示该书的多个版本。 您可以检查每个来源的等级,评论和标签,然后根据自己的喜好(如果该书是通用的品种,例如Project Gutenberg版本)从它们中进行选择,或者在适用时使用确切的出版商/版本。

2011-09-13_133247

If everything looks OK when you’re done with your selection go ahead and click OK to return to the main book list. Now lets take a look at bulk downloading of metadata and covers. Go ahead and select as many of your books as you wish to bulk edit. Right click on an entry, as you did above, only this time select download metadata and covers or hit CTRL+D to start the process. Calibre will prompt you to ensure you want to bulk edit. Here you can opt to download just the metadata, just the covers, or both. In the beginning you can go wild and download everything. As time progresses and you’ve invested time in picking your favorite covers out and such you may opt to only update one category of metadata.

如果选择完成后一切看起来都不错,请继续,然后单击“确定”以返回到主书列表。 现在,让我们看一下元数据和封面的批量下载。 继续并选择您要批量编辑的图书。 像上面一样,右键单击一个条目,仅这次选择下载元数据和封面,或者按CTRL + D开始该过程。 口径将提示您确保要批量编辑。 在这里,您可以选择仅下载元数据,仅下载封面或同时下载两者。 一开始,您可以疯狂下载所有内容。 随着时间的推移,您已经花了很多时间来挑选自己喜欢的封面,因此您可能只选择更新一类元数据。

2011-09-13_133756

In the lower left hand of the Calibre window you should see a little rotating icon and a “Jobs: 1” notation. Anytime Calibre is working on anything (downloading metadata, converting books, etc.) the lower right portion of the window will show you. You can click on the Jobs:1 text in order to see what is in the job queue.

在Calibre窗口的左下角,您应该看到一个小的旋转图标和一个“ Jobs:1 ”符号。 每当Calibre处理任何内容(下载元数据,转换书籍等)时,窗口的右下部分都会显示给您。 您可以单击Jobs:1文本以查看作业队列中的内容。

When Calibre is done updating the metadata a Download Complete dialog box will pop up and ask you if you want to apply the updated metadata to your library. Your options are yes, no, and view log. If you’re feeling particularly cautious you can check out the log but, be forewarned, it’s quite lengthy. If you like what you see, click Yes.

Calibre更新元数据后,将弹出“下载完成”对话框,询问您是否要将更新的元数据应用于库。 您的选择是,否和查看日志。 如果您感到特别谨慎,可以查看日志,但请注意,它很长。 如果您喜欢看到的内容,请单击“是”。

2011-09-13_134248

Calibre will apply the metadata. When it is complete, click on any of your previously un-updated books to check out the new covers and metadata.

口径将应用元数据。 完成后,请单击您之前未更新的任何书籍以检查新的封面和元数据。

Start slowly to get a feel for editing metadata in Calibre. Once you’ve got the hang of it you can start pouring in your entire ebook collection. Although most of the menus are straight forward, you can read a detailed list of functions and some tips and tricks in the Calibre manual here.

慢慢开始,可以在Calibre中编辑元数据。 一旦掌握了窍门,就可以开始倒入整个电子书收藏。 尽管大多数菜单都是简单明了的,但是您可以在此处阅读Calibre手册中的详细功能列表以及一些技巧。

Now that we’ve tidied things up, take a moment to browse through your fledgling collection. You can stick with the main pane interface and simply scroll up or you can click the small arrow in the lower right corner (or press SHIFT+ALT+B) to enter the cover flow mode to enjoy a swankier iTunes style look at your collection.

现在我们整理了一下,花点时间浏览您刚起步的收藏集。 您可以坚持使用主窗格界面并向上滚动,也可以单击右下角的小箭头(或按SHIFT + ALT + B)进入封面流动模式,以更时尚的iTunes风格查看您的收藏集。

在Calibre中将书籍添加到设备并转换电子书 (Adding Books to Your Device and Converting Ebooks in Calibre)

2011-09-13_135253

Ideally, you have books already in the format you need them in. Books natively in the file format you need have the most reliable text formatting. That said, Calibre is a whiz at converting between formats. First let’s look at simply adding a book.

理想情况下,您已经拥有需要的格式的书籍。以您需要的文件格式本地生成的书籍具有最可靠的文本格式。 就是说,Calibre是转换格式之间的高手。 首先让我们看一下添加一本书。

Calibre auto-detects dozens of ebook readers. Simply plug in your ebook read and wait. Within a moment or two an extra column, On Device, as seen in the screenshot above, will appear. If your device does not appear, check out this trouble shooting guide here.

口径自动检测数十个电子书阅读器。 只需插入您的电子书即可阅读并等待。 一两分钟后,将出现一个额外的列,如上面的屏幕快照所示,在设备上。 如果您的设备未出现,请在此处查看此故障排除指南

If the ebook is already in a format supported by your device (such as MOBI for the Kindle) you can simply right click on the book entry, select Send to Device and Main Memory and Calibre will choose the most appropriate format and shuttle it over.

如果电子书已经是您的设备支持的格式(例如Kindle的MOBI),则可以简单地右键单击该书条目,选择“ 发送到设备”和“ 主内存” ,Caliber将选择最合适的格式并将其穿梭。

If your book is not in a compatible format, such as the book we selected The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, you have two options. You can take the simple route and follow the steps we outlined in the last paragraph—Calibre will ask you if you want to automatically convert the book to the right format for the device—or you can manually configure the conversion process. Most of the time Calibre does a fine job with the automatic conversions between document formats. If you have a moment to check the results on your ebook reader before heading out the door, it’s a pretty safe gamble to let Calibre convert on its own with no supervision.

如果您的图书格式不兼容,例如我们选择了奥斯卡·王尔德(Oscar Wilde)的《认真工作的重要性》 ,那么您有两个选择。 您可以采用简单的方法,并按照上一段中概述的步骤操作(Calibre会询问您是否要将书自动转换为适合设备的正确格式),也可以手动配置转换过程。 在大多数情况下,Caliber在文档格式之间的自动转换方面做得很好。 如果您有时间在出门之前在电子书阅读器上检查结果,那么让Calibre在没有监督的情况下自行转换是非常安全的赌博。

2011-09-13_140533

Alternatively you can right click on a book entry and select Convert Books and then Convert Individually. We recommend you only go with this option of the automatic conversion process has failed you in some way. Mucking about in the settings in the manual conversion menu when you’re unfamiliar with them is a sure way to end up with less than pleasing results. One of the first steps you can take, before diving into editing every sub-menu in the conversion tool, is to try out Heuristic Processing. You can turn it on by selecting it in the sidebar of the conversion tool and checking Enable Heuristic Processing. It’s like, for lack of a better simple analogy, error checking for books. It will scan your book for common conversion problems and attempt to correct them. If the heuristic process doesn’t fix your issues, you’ll need to roll up your sleeves and go through each sub-menu and tweak the specific issues with your conversion. Make sure to check out this conversion guide to ensure you’re clear on the function of each tool.

或者,您可以右键单击一本书条目,然后选择“ 转换书籍” ,然后选择“ 单独转换” 。 我们建议您仅使用自动转换过程中的此选项使您以某种方式失败。 如果您不熟悉手动转换菜单中的设置,那肯定会导致结果不令人满意。 在深入研究转换工具中的每个子菜单之前,可以采取的第一步就是尝试启发式处理 。 您可以通过在转换工具的侧栏中选择它并选中“ 启用启发式处理”来将其打开 。 就像是因为缺少更好的简单类比,对书籍进行错误检查。 它将扫描您的书以查找常见的转换问题,并尝试予以纠正。 如果启发式过程不能解决您的问题,则需要袖手旁观,仔细阅读每个子菜单,然后针对转换中的特定问题进行调整。 请务必查看此转换指南,以确保您清楚了解每个工具的功能。

Once your book is converted and transferred to your device, it should look like so on the main screen:

转换图书并将其传输到设备后,在主屏幕上的外观应如下所示:

2011-09-13_142317

Simply rinse and repeat for all your books and you’ll have a well organized library and a well stocked ebook reader.

只需对所有书籍进行冲洗和重复,您将拥有一个组织良好的图书馆和一个储备充足的电子书阅读器。
