I just wanted to say thanks to tompe for spending your time and talents on this program. I think there is a real need for this program - I am new to ebooks (Kindle owner) and immediately went to PG to get some books. Also, I found this site and have been enjoying the books that all the great uploaders put here.

The problem became obvious immediately: The metadata wasn't showing up for most .prc's that are freely available from public domain sources. On my Kindle's browser, books would show up as MILL_UTILITARIANISM, or just BLEAK HOUSE, etc. Nothing was showing up for most books under the author line.

My plan has been to buy a 4GB memory card and every book that I buy/download to just leave it on my Kindle, so I don't have to worry about moving books on and off the reader. When the metadata is inconsistent or just missing, it's going to make it extremely hard to find a book I need once a few hundred books get on there.

I haven't yet figured out how to use Mobiperl, but I'm going to work on it in the next few days. Thanks for the program - I just wanted to let you know that your work is appreciated, this tool is much needed and will help people make their books look correct on our readers.
