Heh, I'm just storing them elsewhere. Nothing too involved, just subfolders by the authors' names (last, first for me), and then sub-sub folders to keep series books together (I renamed them '01 title,' '02 title,' etc to keep the order). I did grab copies of the Connect books and catalog them similarly, changing their horrid names to something a human can read and understand.
If you don't have a big collection, that's the best time to start cataloging them, less initial work. |

How do you change the names on the books from the Connect store? I couldn't see how to do it through the UI and I assumed the books contain metadata tags that drive the Reader display, or does the Connect software really just read the file names to build the index?

The meta-data is encoded in the file -- you can't change it -- but ConnSoft doesn't give a wet slap what the actual file name is, you can change that with impunity in plain old Windows Explorer.
For instance, instead of '2DF4DF3A54S.LRX' (or whatever the blazes it was) my file name reads simply 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.LRX' -- ConnSoft looks at the meta-data to figure out what to display, I look at the nice English file name to tell what the stupid file actually is, and we're both of us happy. |

It's amazing the interesting things that catch you attention when browsing non-mainstream books. (Blood, Sweat and Tea and Flyboy: Comes with Action Figure come to mind.) |

I've got no Connect Store books on my Reader (really must use my credit before it expires!) .
