Using the E-book viewer in Calibre to look at the converted PDB file, click the "i" button to view the metadata, the Author and Title fields are reversed. There is no Publisher, Comments or ISBN data; 'None' is shown.
If I look at the same file converted to MOBI for use on my Kindle all the metadata is present and in the correct fields.
Also, viewing the MOBI file shows the cover but not in the PDB view.
If I use the ereader software (eReader Pro 3.03) and look at Book Info (Ctrl+I) with the converted file, the only field visible is the Title and it is correct. The Author and Publisher fields are blank. Looking at a book I purchased from eReader shows all of those correctly. This mirrors exactly what is shown on my wife's eReader gadget.
Again, the cover shows with the purchased book but not with the converted PDB file.
One other question: In Calibre, Preferences, Conversion, PDB Output there are three choices: doc, ereader, ztxt. Mine is set to doc and I haven't changed it. Will the other choices affect this conversion process to my benefit?
I followed your link for opening a ticket. Looks intimidating and I didn't see anything related to entering a new ticket. Probably I didn't look hard enough and probably "above my pay grade", as we used to say. Maybe there is someone reading this who knows and would take the initiative. If so, thanks!
So much to learn, so many books to read.
Thanks.
