how to embed title and author
anyone know how to get kindle to recognize the title and author in a homemade ebook such as those created with mobipocket creator?
in other words, none of the text files i've sent over have an author listed when using the sort function and i need as many sort keys as possible as my content expands. i've been all through the mobipocket creator help and online faq and i can't see how it's done. i even examined some .mobi files i'd gotten from mobipocket, but they display in hex and i'm just not good at picking out the relevant portions. thanks in advance, /guy |

i think you need to use a different program to embed author and title info into the PRC file. is it called "mobipocket publisher" ?
not sure ... |

stupid of me really. when i installed mobipocket creator for some reason i selected the 'home' version instead of the 'publisher' version. perhaps i thought i had to pay for publisher. at any rate, i had to uninstall completely to get the option back and now i have the metadata option under the view menu. thanks for the accurate reply. /guy |

You could also edit the OPF file and add the additional metadata. A few of the allowed items are:
<dc:Title>Book Title Here</dc:Title> <dc:Creator>Smith, John Q.</dc:Creator> <dc:Language>en-us</dc:Language> <dc:Date>11/26/2007</dc:Date> |
