Calibre Conversion to .mobi and Title
Hi,
I'm french and I've recently buy Kindle K4 to read some books, before i use iPad + iBook (ePub format ) but i want to use twice and continue to manage same books with calibre. The Conversion ePub 2 mobi work very fine, but i have a little troubleshoot : the title used in the kindle is an EXTH Data called UpdatedTitle ( code 503 ). Calibre fill it with the same as title book on converion. On the Kindle we can use Collections and if i use this feature the books are not in order of series. so i would use a special format like "# Title" so if i sort by name my serie was always sort correctly by number. I Try to change the EXTH Data in mobi file with mobi2mobi Gui but they handle very strangly accents. i suspect the using batch with using command interpretor was a probleme because they dont use same codepage. so i try directly with perl mobi3mobi without any good result alwys accent probleme. i return in methode using calibre but if i convert and modifying metadata manualy on the conversion dialogue box, the metadata for the rest was changed. and i must rechange manualy after conversion. I create a special user field for handling collection with "Kindle collection" plugg-in, does it possible to modify the convertion for mobi to use like "kindle collection" a defined field. By default title was used if other field was affected the converion use this fields. I've create a special user field with "## Name" if serie_index defined otherwise "Name" used alone but i can't send in the updatedTitle with out changing calibre or some plug-in ? is there possible to obtain a modification a this level ? Thanks in advance |

I think using the metadata plugboards might accomplish what you want to do.

Ok Thank you so much !
you save my life on this stuff it's working for me the rule of plugboard used in transfert between pc and kindle not on generation of mobi it's fine for me. Just don't know to affect for "kindle 4" not in the the list ! i choose any mobi - device -> But for me just one device who read mobi so dont have trouble. the second thing is : i use this "template" : {series_index:0>2s|#| }{Title} does it possible to parametrize "2s" with the number of digit of the greatest series_index in the serie ? thanks in advance |

I hate saying it can't be done, as most of the time, Charles knows how to do it, or will write code to do it, but I also hate not answering when I'm pretty sure I know the answer. Last edited by Starson17; 11-11-2011 at 12:07 PM. |
