Well here is something I didn't know. That is absolutely amazing to me. It is unbelievable that they would develop electronic book formats and not make room for all the metadata.

I wonder if there is anybody doing anything about this? MP3's originally had limited metadata capabilities but then extensions were made that allow you to even insert lyrics.

I still think it would be good to have a simple way to save metadada to file, like a button in the Edit Metadata window. It would be also be helpful to have Calibre tell me what data was not going to be saved and keep that additional data in the database and, optionally, in a text file.

Thanks again for the information.
