Hi,

I'm french and I've recently buy Kindle K4 to read some books, before i use iPad + iBook (ePub format ) but i want to use twice and continue to manage same books with calibre.

The Conversion ePub 2 mobi work very fine, but i have a little troubleshoot :
the title used in the kindle is an EXTH Data called UpdatedTitle ( code 503 ). Calibre fill it with the same as title book on converion. On the Kindle we can use Collections and if i use this feature the books are not in order of series. so i would use a special format like "# Title" so if i sort by name my serie was always sort correctly by number.

I Try to change the EXTH Data in mobi file with mobi2mobi Gui but they handle very strangly accents. i suspect the using batch with using command interpretor was a probleme because they dont use same codepage. so i try directly with perl mobi3mobi without any good result alwys accent probleme. i return in methode using calibre but if i convert and modifying metadata manualy on the conversion dialogue box, the metadata for the rest was changed. and i must rechange manualy after conversion.

I create a special user field for handling collection with "Kindle collection" plugg-in, does it possible to modify the convertion for mobi to use like "kindle collection" a defined field. By default title was used if other field was affected the converion use this fields.

I've create a special user field with "## Name" if serie_index defined otherwise "Name" used alone but i can't send in the updatedTitle with out changing calibre or some plug-in ?

is there possible to obtain a modification a this level ?

Thanks in advance
