Can I create a new metadata?
Hi.
I used to use Moon+ Reader, but after an update it erased the tags of my 150 books, so I decided to change. I installed Mantano Reader Premium. Well, like any e-book reader, Mantano lets me sort the books by tag, author, ... and, for my surprise, I can also sort them by series. And that's my doubt! Suppose I have the books The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King. What (and how ) can I do so that Mantano Reader understands that these 3 books belong to the Lord of the Ring serie? |

There is no standard metadata for series. Calibre uses its own. So, if it isn't in the documentation what the reader uses, it will be trial and error.

Thanks for your answer, Toxaris.
I have a book called "O Mar de Monstros", which Mantano added to the "Percy Jackson e os Olimpianos" serie. I used Sigil to edit the content.opf file but, as I undestand nothing about html codes, I simply copied and pasted these lines over another book OPF. I altered the name and serie of the book and pasted it at the same position... just below </dc:language>. It didn't work! <meta content="2" name="calibre:series_index" /> <meta content="Mar de Monstros, O" name="calibre:title_sort" /> <meta content="2012-02-05T00:50:46+00:00" name="calibre:timestamp" /> <meta content="cover" name="cover" /> <meta content="Percy Jackson e os Olimpianos" name="calibre:series" /> <meta content="0.5.3" name="Sigil version" /> </metadata> |

I very much doubt Mantano is using calibre metadata entries to organize books "by series."
You'd probably be better served posting the entire metadata section (or the entire OPF file) of an ePub that behaves as expected in Mantano. Someone might be able to pick out the particulars that way. |

Lots of Publishers use Calibre in their work flow. One can only hope that Kovid gets compensated
That book was converted(?) on 5 February 2012 Interesting that a device recognizes a non-standard identifier |

Did you have the book with no series added to the library already before modifying the metadata? It could be that the metadata was read only when the book was first added, and further modifications to the book are not reflected in the library. Try to remove the book and add it again, or to add the series metadata to a book that has never touched the Mantano. If that works, you can add the series metadata with Sigil, I believe. Just add custom metadata fields named "calibre:series" and "calibre:series_index". |
