Hello,
I am very new, and not very advanced, so please speak slowly.

How do I edit and add Meta Data to books in Mobi or HTML format?

I've tried the Calibre software and it was a nightmare, I didn't realize it was creating duplicates, and all my metadata was very wrong, so it was a real mess.

I have another software that converts very well (Mobipocket Creator) , but doesnt really do metadata.

I know some very basic HTML. Is there a way to add a few HTML lines and then convert to .mobi?

Also, what metadata fields are available? Aurthor, title, dates, etc?

Thanks
