Books can be categorised in genres such as e.g.:

Fiction
Nonfiction
Arts & Music
Biography
Computers & Tech
Cookbook
Detective and Mystery
Edu & Reference
Fantasy
Health & Fitness
Historical fiction
etc. etc.

If I am not mistaken, Calibre does not accommodate for genres by default, but you can create a hierarchy for it yourself.
(I should be able to find out how to do that)

But, I am not enthusiastic about the idea that I will need to add such genres manually for each and every book myself.

My question:
Are there providers that Calibre can source tags from that provide such genres/categories?
If so, which provider(s), and are there plugins that make it possible to retrieve and write them?

TIA!
