MetaData/Cover picture via librps? Author sort?
Hi all!
So, as of last week I'm now the proud owner of a shiny new Sony Reader PRS-505. I'd first like to quickly thank all of you who replied to my pre-purchase n00b thread, you all provided valuable and helpful information and I very much appreciate it. Anyway, on to my new (and undoubtedly first of many) annoying n00b question. I've got Libprs set up, even to the point where I can retrieve ISBN data and Covers through the program, but I can't seem to get them to save to the reader. Can I open a file, any LRF for example, retrieve the info and cover, and then drag it on to the memory card from the reader? I think maybe I'm missing something; every time I do just that the new information just seems to be lost. Generally I remove the card and plug it into a card reader in the PC, but I've tried plugging in the reader directly and it has the same result. A little help? I have LRF files on there that have the cover and info already down; I just want to quickly edit those that are wrong and be done with it. Thanks in advance, once again. Sincerely, Alex. |

On a related note; how can I get my Author's names to appear in the right order?
For example; Stephen King books show up under S, preferably they'd be King, Stephen. |

How are you transferring books to the reader? Try using the send to device button to transfer to the reader.

Outatime: Congratulations on the purchase, and on the usage of that great program.
Am a horrible neophyte on using that thing, but that is my own ignorance and jitteriness. The illustrious programmer has a sticky on the software, as well as a web wiki at https://libprs500.kovidgoyal.net https://libprs500.kovidgoyal.net |

libprs does not store books in a folder. It stores them in its own database. If you want to save them in some folder, use the save to disk button.
