The best software to do this is Calibre, which runs both on Windows and Mac.
BUT here is the thing:
Just downloading Calibre is not enough - you also need plugins
You must also play around with Calibre to figure it out
You need a strategy to organise the library
I recommend these plugins for editing metadata:
Find Duplicates
Extract ISBN
Quality Check
Clean Metadata
as well as any plugin that downloads metadata from a new source
From all these tools, the most valuable one is, in my opinion, Extract ISBN, which automatically goes through books’ contents to find the ISBN - although it doesn’t always work perfectly - that is the only disadvantage. The second best plugin is Quality Check. It has options to automatically show you which books have missing or erroneous metadata fields such as author, title etc.
最好的软件是Calibre，它可以在Windows和Mac上运行。
但问题是：
仅仅下载Calibre是不够的,你还需要下载插件；
你还必须研究懂Calibre才能找到答案；
你需要一个组织图书馆的策略；
我推荐这些用于编辑元数据的插件：
发现重复的书（Find Duplicates）
提取国际标准图书编号（ISBN） （Find Duplicates）
质检法查找书 （Quality Check）
清除遗留在缓存里的元数据 （Clean Metadata）
以及任何从新源下载元数据的插件
在我看来，从所有这些工具中，最有价值的是“Extract ISBN”，它会自动遍历书籍的内容以找到ISBN，尽管它并不总是完美地工作，这是唯一的缺点。第二好的插件是“Extract ISBN”。它可以自动显示哪些书籍缺少或出现错误的元数据字段，如作者、标题等。

How to organize the library - some tips
1. Updating metadata & Download missing covers
By far the easiest way to fix the library is to start by finding the ISBN of each book and then simply download all the metadata automatically. The ISBN uniquely identifies the correct book - otherwise there is more work in searching for details by author name and book title since there are often many books with the same title or revisions of the same book etc.
First use Quality Check to find the books with missing ISBN
Then use Extract ISBN to get their ISBN
Ensure you have added plugins for various metadata sources
Then download the metadata and covers automatically
如何组织图书馆-一些建议
1.更新元数据并下载缺失的封面
到目前为止，修复图书馆最简单的方法是先找到每本书的ISBN，然后自动下载所有元数据。ISBN是正确的书的唯一标识—否则，通过作者姓名和书名来搜索细节就会有更多的工作量，因为经常有许多书具有相同的标题或同一本书的修订等。
首先使用插件“Quality Check” 查找丢失书号的书籍
然后使用插件“Extract ISBN”获取他们的ISBN
确保为各种元数据源添加了插件
然后下载元数据并自动覆盖

2. Updating details for the rest of the books
Use Quality Check to go through the books and fill in what is missing.

In terms of otherwise finding lists of books based on criteria, you must become familiar with the search parameters of Calibre as well as the Virtual Library. You enter search parameters in the search box of Calibre. However, the results come up highlighted and you have to sext the books one by one. If you want to immediately get a list with only the books that you search for, I think it is better to create a Virtual Library with these search parameters, from the option on the top left.
Basically the search uses a simple language where you can enter parameters. The key points to remember are that
when you want to look for a book parameter that is missing, you set it as False
when you want to look for books based on more than one parameters you use AND
when you want a book to not have the particular value in a parameter you use NOT
you use brackets to combine more than one parameters
For example, this below will search for all books which have no ISBN and are in any format other than DOC and TXT:
(isbn:False) AND (NOT formats:"=doc") and (NOT formats:"=txt")
更新其他书籍的细节
使用插件Quality Check 来检查账簿并填写缺失的内容。
按参数搜索图书
在根据标准查找图书列表方面，您必须熟悉Calibre和虚拟图书馆的搜索参数。在Calibre的搜索框中输入搜索参数。但是，结果会高亮显示出来，你必须逐个选择书籍。如果想立即获得一个仅包含你搜索的书籍的列表，我认为最好使用这些搜索参数从左上角的选项创建一个虚拟库。
基本上，搜索使用一种简单的语言，你可以在其中输入参数。要记住的关键点是：
如果要查找的书缺少参数，则将其设置为“False”
如果要基于多个参数查找书籍，请使用“AND”
如果希望书本的参数中不包含特定值，可以使用“ NOT”
可以使用括号组合多个参数
例如，以下将会搜寻除“DOC”及“TXT”以外的所有没有 ISBN的书籍:
（isbn:False）和（非格式：“=doc”）以及（非格式“=txt”）

Add tags and subtags
This is an advanced way to organize a library. You can add main tags and subtags below them. I won’t explain the exact process, but this is one way to make the library organised. For example, you may have one main tag for many books called “Psychology”, and below it subtags such as “Social psychology”, “Cognitive psychology” with different books on each.
Export the library
Once you are done updating the metadata, downloading covers and fixing all the details you need, Export the library. There are options to export the library to specific folder structures eg. by author, tag, year etc. as you wish. It takes some learning of how to enter the parameters but you can eventually have your library however you want it to look like.
添加标签和子标签
这是一种组织图书馆的高级方法。可以添加主标签和子标签。我不会解释确切的过程，但这是使图书馆有条理的一种方法。例如，许多书可能有一个主标签，称为“心理学”，在它下面有子标签，如“社会心理学”、“认知心理学”，每个标签上都对应不同的书籍。
导出库
一旦你完成了更新元数据，下载封面和修复所有你需要的细节，导出库。有选项可以将库导出到特定的文件夹结构，如按作者、标签、年份等。如何输入参数需要一些学习，但最终你可以按照期望拥有导出库。

I grew up in two houses - my mom's house and my dad's house - and they both had big, beautiful libraries.
Books were bought, read, underlined, dog-eared, talked about, piled up, passed around, recommended, discussed over meals and frequently given away.
Some ended up on a shelf.
It seemed to me books were happiest in someone's hands. They liked being carried around, thrown in a roomy bag, picked up, held under someone's arm, thumbed through, marked, scribbled on, borrowed, argued over.
I felt sad for the books that ended up on the highest shelves. They would grow old and yellow, become brittle, get covered in dust, stand there in an organized row dreaming of the day someone would finally notice them.
I decided I stood against bookshelves. I felt that in most cases they were where books went to die.
Today I read a book and immediately pass it along to someone I think will enjoy it. I frequently read electronic books because they are easy to travel with. Once I read a book there I dexe it so my device feels uncluttered.
I'm (sorely) behind on my reading so I currently own stacks of books piled up on my coffee table, but if I have read a book, I do not keep it.
我在两栋房子里长大：我妈妈的房子和我爸爸的房子，他们都有大而漂亮的图书馆。
书籍被购买、阅读、划线、折角、谈论、堆积、传阅、推荐、用餐时讨论，并经常被赠送。
有些最终被放在了书架上。
在我看来，书在某人手中是最幸福的。他们喜欢随身携带书，扔进一个大袋子里，捡起，夹在某人的胳膊下，翻阅，标记，涂鸦，借用，争论。
我为那些最后放在最高书架上的书感到难过。他们会变旧变黄，变得脆弱，被灰尘覆盖，站在那里排成一排，梦想有一天有人会注意到他们。
我决定靠书架站着。我觉得在大多数情况下，它们是书籍走向死亡的地方。
今天我读了一本书，并立即把它传给我认为会喜欢它的人。我经常阅读电子书，因为它们很容易携带。一旦我读完一本书，我就会删除它，这样就会感觉我的设备很整洁。
我的阅读进度(严重)落后了，所以在我的咖啡桌上堆了一堆书，但如果我读过，我就不会再保留它。

I can’t tell you about specific software. But I wish to say, be careful about believing you can find everything you want on a subject in ebooks or online.
I know from my own experience on a historical society board and in a library that many local history resources are not online. Local history museums and libraries have older documents never scanned and no one can say when they will be - things like hand written soldiers’ Civil War journals, first person accounts of disasters, photographic images - all kinds of things.
And second, even the ones supposedly online can disappear. This happened to me. I was researching my Ohio Civil War congressman and found his journal on Read Any Book. I printed it out and it was a good thing I did. When I went back a couple of months later, Google had bought the site - and that journal and other books I wanted from that period were gone. Yes, I looked on Google - they were not there either.
Owners of online sites decide what they think is important enough to store. In other word, they edit what you can find. Amazon does the same thing. If you find something you really want to be able to keep, print it or download it.
And if it’s ever about local history - look at the original sources that won’t be online.
我不能告诉你具体的软件。但我想说的是，要小心，不要相信你可以在电子书或网上找到你想要的任何东西。
我从自己在历史学会理事会和图书馆的经历中知道，许多当地的历史资源在网上是找不到的。当地的历史博物馆和图书馆有一些从未扫描过的旧文件，也没有人知道它们什么时候会被扫描——比如手写的士兵内战日记，对灾难的第一人称描述，照片等各种各样的东西。
第二，即使是那些被认为在线的也可能消失。我就经历过这类事。我在研究俄亥俄州内战时期的国会议员时，发现他的日记是“Read Any Book”列表。我把它打印出来了，这是我做的一件好事。几个月后，当我回去的时候，谷歌已经买下了这个网站，我想要的杂志和其他书都不见了。是的，我在谷歌上搜索过，却找不到了。
在线网站的所有者决定他们认为哪些是足够重要的内容。换句话说，他们编辑你能找到的东西。亚马逊也这样做。如果你找到了你真正想要保存的东西，要打印或下载。
如果是关于当地历史的，那去看看那些不会出现在网上的原始资料。

I will lay out the steps to follow for you, but they will not appear in order. There is a reason for that, and if you read this entire answer then you will understand the reason.
STEP-1:
You must actually write the book. On your computer use either Microsoft Word, or some other text editor that can produce a “.DOC” document. I use Apache - Open Office which is a FREE version of a text editor much like Microsoft Office which includes Microsoft Word.
If you use Open Office, then when you are saving the document use the option to save it as a Microsoft Word document.
Write the entire book out. Then edit the crap out of it. I really mean it. You will not want to publish it with a lot of typos and other mistakes in it, so edit and correct. Also, I highly suggest having someone else edit it for you as well because we are not very good at spotting our own mistakes.
我将为你列出要遵循的步骤，但它们不会按顺序出现。这是有原因的，如果你读了整个答案，你就会明白原因。
步骤1：
你必须写这本书。在计算机上，使用Microsoft Word或其他可以生成“.DOC”文档的文本编辑器。我使用Apache-Open Office，这是一个免费版本的文本编辑器，非常像包含Microsoft Word的Microsoft Office。
如果使用Open Office，则在保存文档时，请使用该选项将其另存为Microsoft Word文档。
把整本书写出来，然后进行编辑。我是认真的，你也不想发布有很多打字错误和其他错误的文章吧，所以请编辑并更正。此外，我强烈建议让其他人为你编辑，因为我们不太善于发现自己的错误。

STEP-2:
There are dozens of publishing websites out there that will let you publish your ebook for free and some of them even help with distributing, marketing, sales. Pick one.
My three favorites are “Amazon.com”, “Smashwords.com”, and “LULU.com”.
Each site has their own formatting requirements so you will have to read their requirements and then modify your book document to fit their requirements.
Once the book is properly formatted, use the websites tools to upload your book document. Once you have successfully uploaded your book, the website will check it out for formatting, content, etc. On your first try there probably will be some errors. Don’t get frustrated, even seasoned authors get these trifling errors.
Fix the errors and upload again. Do this until it passes their test and then they publish it, which means it is there on the internet for people to buy. You will, of course, want to create an account on the website and give them the information they need to pay you when you sell some books.
步骤2：
有几十个发布网站可以让你免费发布电子书，其中一些甚至可以帮助分发、营销和销售，选一个就好。
我最喜欢的三个网站是“Amazon.com”、“Smashwords.com”和“LULU.com”。
每个网站都有自己的格式要求，因此必须阅读他们的要求，然后修改图书文档以满足他们的要求。
一旦图书格式正确，使用网站工具上传图书文档。一旦你成功上传了你的书，网站将检查格式、内容等。在你第一次尝试时，可能会有一些错误。不要沮丧，即使是经验丰富的作者也会犯这些小错误。
更正错误并重新上传，直到它通过他们的测试，然后他们会发布它，这意味着它在互联网上供人们购买。当然，你想在网站上创建一个账户，并在你出售一些书籍时向他们提供他们需要支付的信息。

STEP-3:
Since you are going to have to format the document for the publishing website, I suggest that you look at the formatting regulations and become familiar with them before you even type up the book. You may as well get use to typing in the format they want so you have less to correct when it is time to format the completed book document.
Formatting is things like font and font size. Most publishing websites want the document to be in Times New Roman 12 Point. Therefore, that is the font you should use when typing the whole thing up.
Also, most of the publishing websites have content restrictions. For instance, none that I know about will publish any content where a sex scene happens and one of the participants is under the age of consent. It only makes sense to know your publishers rules before you spend months typing up your story.
由于你将不得不为出版网站设置文档格式，我建议在输入书籍之前先查看格式规则并熟悉它们。你也可以习惯于按他们想要的格式打字，这样你就不需要在按格式进行修改了。
格式就是字体和字体大小。大多数出版网站都希望文档采用新罗马字体12号字。因此，这是你在键入整个内容时应使用的字体。
此外，大多数发布网站都有内容限制。例如，据我所知，没有人会发布任何发生性爱场景的内容，而且其中一个参与者还没有达到规定的年龄。因此在你花几个月时间打印你的故事之前，先去了解你的出版商的规则才有意义。

Therefore, I certainly suggest doing a little research on which publishing site you want to use before actually typing up the book.
Incidentally, you can also publish the same book on more than one of the publisher’s sites. In truth, each site will give you a better deal on their marketing packages if you publish with them exclusively. So pick the one that seems best for you.
Of the three publishing sites I listed at the beginning of this answer, I like each one for a different reason.
I am not affiliated with any of these sites, and I make no money at all by suggesting one over another.
I am going to suggest that you start with “Smashwords.com”. I like them for two reasons: First, their formatting is very similar to the native formatting you will get if you just use Microsoft Word or Open Office to type the book document up. Because of this, the formatting step is a lot easier. Second, each book MUST HAVE an ISBN(International Book Serial Number) and Smashwords gives you an option for a free ISBN.
因此，我当然建议在实际打印这本书之前，先对你想使用的出版网站做一点调查。
顺便说一下，你也可以在多个出版商的网站上发布同一本书。事实上，如果你独家发布，每个网站都会为你提供更好的营销套餐。所以选择最适合你的。
在我在答案开头列出的三个出版网站中，每一个网站都有不同的原因。
我与这些网站都没有关联，而且我推荐一个网站而不推荐另一个网站根本也赚不到钱。
我建议你从“Smashwords.com”开始。我喜欢它们有两个原因：第一，它们的格式非常类似于使用Microsoft Word或Open Office键入图书文档时所获得的本地格式。因此，格式化步骤要容易得多。其次，每本书必须有一个ISBN（国际图书序列号），而Smashwords为你提供了一个免费ISBN的选项。

Because of this, the formatting step is a lot easier. Second, each book MUST HAVE an ISBN(International Book Serial Number) and Smashwords gives you an option for a free ISBN.
因此，我当然建议在实际打印这本书之前，先对你想使用的出版网站做一点调查。
顺便说一下，你也可以在多个出版商的网站上发布同一本书。事实上，如果你独家发布，每个网站都会为你提供更好的营销套餐。所以选择最适合你的。
在我在答案开头列出的三个出版网站中，每一个网站都有不同的原因。
我与这些网站都没有关联，而且我推荐一个网站而不推荐另一个网站根本也赚不到钱。
我建议你从“Smashwords.com”开始。我喜欢它们有两个原因：第一，它们的格式非常类似于使用Microsoft Word或Open Office键入图书文档时所获得的本地格式。因此，格式化步骤要容易得多。其次，每本书必须有一个ISBN（国际图书序列号），而Smashwords为你提供了一个免费ISBN的选项。
On the other hand, I like Amazon simply because I get more sales from Amazon than any of the other publishing websites, but their formatting requirements are a bit more difficult.
Finally, I will say a few words about “LULU.COM”. You asked about publishing an ebook. Yes, you can certainly publish an ebook on “LULU.COM”, but I think every writer wants that one copy of his/her printed book to show off to friends and family. Believe me, formatting for print is MUCH more difficult than formatting for ebook. You almost have to be an expert at Microsoft word to get the headings and page numbers correct, and you have to insert those page-breaks between chapters, etc.
If you are willing to format it for print then I suggest “LULU.COM” because they produce a very high quality printed book on high quality paper for a very reasonable price. In addition, you can get one copy at a time. You do not have to print up an order of a thousand books! Of course, if you do order a thousand copies you get a pretty good discounted price. LOL
I hope this helped and good luck with your ebook.
另一方面，我喜欢亚马逊只是因为我从亚马逊获得的销售额比其他任何出版网站都多，但它们的格式要求有点困难。
最后，我想就“LULU.COM”网说几句话。你问我出版电子书的事。是的，你当然可以在“LULU.COM”上发表电子书，但我认为每个作家都希望自己的印刷本能向朋友和家人炫耀。相信我，打印格式比电子书格式难得多。你几乎必须是Microsoft word的专家，才能获得正确的标题和页码，并且必须在章节之间插入分页符，等等。
如果你愿意将其格式化打印，我建议“LULU.COM”，因为他们以非常合理的价格在高质量纸张上生产出非常高质量的印刷书籍。此外，另外，你可以一次拿一份。你不必打印一千本书的订单！当然，如果你订了一千本，你会得到相当好的折扣，哈哈。
我希望这对你的电子书有帮助，祝你好运。

110% better.
One of the greatest things about books is the ability to take them everywhere. Rain or shine. Rural or suburb. Hiking or on the couch.
The feel of books is intoxicating. You can run your fingers over the pages, fold over a corner, feel how you are so close to the final pages.
Books don’t lose battery. Books don’t shut off right when you’re about to finish the chapter.
Books are fragile. Books are, “handle with care”.
The smell of books is something you can only experience when you have one in your grasp.
They aren’t limited. They stay with you.
To truly experience a book is to just be one with it- no low-battery sign, no clock to tell you its late.
Hold a physical book in your hand- and experience it. Whether it be rain or shine. Rural or suburb. Hiking or on the couch.
110%更好。
书最大的优点之一就是能带它们去任何地方：风雨无阻、农村或郊区、徒步旅行或在沙发上。
读书的感觉令人陶醉。你可以用手指在书页上滑动，折起一个角，以此感觉你离最后一页有多近。
书籍不会消耗电池。书不会在你即将读完这一章的时候就被断电。
书是易碎的。书籍得“小心轻放”。
书的味道只有在你手边有书的时候才能体验到。
它们不受限制，它们和你在一起。
要真正体验一本书，就要和它在一起：没有电池电量低的标志，没有时钟告诉你它已经晚了。
无论是下雨还是晴天。农村或郊区。徒步旅行或在沙发上，手里拿着一本实体书，体验它吧。

Sometimes the ebooks are cheaper than the physical books.
Many e-readers have built-in lighting so you don’t have to worry about the ambient room light or carry a booklight with you.
E-books are always available to purchase. Physical book stocks are at the whim of the bookstore.
Cons:
You can’t readily get an ebook signed by the author on a whim.
No “new book smell”
赞成的意见：
你可以把整个图书馆放在比一本书薄得多的设备上。
你不必担心书遭受物理损坏。

反对者的意见：
你不可能一时兴起就轻易得到一本有作者签名的电子书。
