Hello, I am a newbie to the world of epubs, metadata, and onix, etc. I just finishing exporting my book to an epub file with Adobe Indesign and submitted it to apple for ibook.
Now, I am attempting to send my ebook out to borders with kobo. Kobo is asking so much that must be in my metadata or it will be rejected. I am using Calibre and just updated the latest download.
These are the field that must be in the metadata
1.eISBN:
2.Contributor(s):
3.Description: Full description of eBook as it should appear on site.
4.Publisher:
5.Language:
6.Account Holder ID:
7.Monetization
8.Number of Free Chapters: The number of chapters (after front matter, known as "Openers") that you would like to offer as a free sample. "1" chapter is the default offering.
9.Licensing: A one-digit number (0, 1, 2 or 3) which indicates licensing for the title. Please refer to the appendix section of Kobo’s METADATA template for information.
10.Territorial Rights (Country Code): Leave blank to indicate world rights or enter 2-letter codes for territories in which you have the rights to sell your content
11. SRP: Suggested List Price (SLP). Kobo requires, at the very least, one of the provided currency fields to be filled out. This data needs to be formatted as a number with two decimals and no dollar sign.
12. Publication Date: Publication date in format YYYY-MM-DD
13. BISAC Code: At least one BISAC code is required. Enter the primary BISAC code for the title here. Use columns S and T to enter up to 2 additional BISAC codes if desired. You can find a list of BISAC codes
Now, not all of these are in the are Calibre. I can't add the editor, the illustrator, etc.
Nor is there a section for BISAC code.
How does one add these to the xml file or the onix file that Needs to be sent with the epub file to kobo? Can this be done in excel. If so, who?
