Hello! I have recently bought a Sony E-Reader PRS-600 to read my rather large collection of .pdf files. Since I bought it I recently went ahead and purchased an ebook of Frankenstein from the Sony e-book store, since I need it for a class and it has to be annotatable.

All that I want to do is change the author metatag. By pure necessity of volume I have added metatags to all of my pdf's reading the author's last name, then first as according to MLA. The ePub file has the file reading the author's first name first. In short I need it to say Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft, instead of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. Honestly this is the only thing I need to do.

I haven't had much trouble working with the .pdf files since I am lucky enough to have a full version of Acrobat 8, where all you do is hit ctrl+D and there's the metadata to edit, but I have to admit that the epub file baffles me. How the heck to I change the way the author reads on an epub file? Help would be so greatly appreciated!
