+==== Plug-ins ====
+I've tried two plug-ins so far that've both been worth recommending. One for finding duplicate files, and one for grabbing metadata from [[Goodreads]]. I installed them from the built-in plug-in package manager, but here are the links they provide as their 'Plugin homepage':

+===== Storage =====
+Annoyingly, Calibre doesn't //officially// support storing it's database on a network drive.
+I'm using a NAS and accessing it using SMB. The post linked below suggests adding ''nobrl'' to the mount options in fstab to stop the common 'database is locked' errors.

+Previously I kept the library on my computer and synced it with the NAS with [[Syncthing]], so that's another option.
+The only downside I've encountered is due to Linux file systems being case-sensitive and Windows ones not. So I lost a bunch of things when I wanted to fix an incorrect capitalisation in an author's name.
