Hi everybody, I just got my first ebook today after finding these forums a couple of weeks back and reading the suggestion-threads.

I have a large archive of books in RTF format, and for future compatibility I'm not really interested in converting all of these to the LRF format. I would love for them to appear "properly" on the reader though, as in the book title and author being properly recognized by it. I see some of my books appear to be listed correctly, others are just listed as the filename, and some even have some weird, but real, author names that I can't seem to find anywhere in the files.

So, how do I name the RTF files so that the title and author is parsed correctly by the Sony reader?

Oh, I have the 505 if that matters in any way, and I'm on OS X so I can't use the software that came with it.
