Thanks again kovidgoyal.

On your suggestion I've taken out the metadata I was setting using the conversion_options list in my recipe but now find that the resulting mobi ebook that's been created by ebook-convert has 'calibre' listed as both 'author' and 'publisher'.

Is this what is supposed to happen (designed that way) or perhaps it's because I'm using Calibre v. 0.7.50 on Ubuntu/Lucid (which was got via a PPA called ppa:n-muench/calibre-lucid) and not the latest version 0.8.25?

Thanks.

PS. BTW looking through a couple of dozen recipes I've just seen that quite a lot set metadata using the conversion_options list.
