Thanks for commenting.
I don't deliberately remove the ISBN number, I click the green triangle to clear
the contents of the IDs field in case there is an Amazon ID number. The
stripped books are intended for people who don't use calibre, so there is no
need for any metadata other than the title, author and publication date.
The IDs box is pretty useless, there doesn't seem to be any way to edit it
easily, or display the contents as a column so selected items can be deleted or
added.
I'm surprised people don't want the series titles and numbers displayed in the
library pages of their eReaders. How do you find the next book in the series?
I only posted two versions of the books, version 1 with corrected full metadata
and version 2 was with the titles changed to include series & number and
metadata stripped.
There is a version 1.5 of the books I could post, full metadata with the titles
changed to include the series. It would mean another save during the process
but I have plenty of hard disk space. (Or this could be version 2?)
I could then remove the metadata for people I normally supply books to and not
bother posting this version?
I'm editing the books anyway, for me and a few relatives. I just thought I
might as well share the work I've put in with the people on usenet since this is
where the books are from originally.
