Thank you for your prompt reply, Kovid.

However, after I switched to Device view, Calibre will not let me edit the metadata.

"Edit Metadata" on the toolbar is dimmed.

"Edit Metadata" on the menu (Edit Metadata > Edit Metadata individually) results in this error message:

ERROR: Cannot edit metadata
No books selected

Maybe I misunderstood your instructions?

When you wrote...
Quote:
you can edit the metadata for existing books on the device, by clicking on the title or author in the book list
... did you mean I can only edit the author and title of the book? What if I want the cover to match the cover I have in my Calibre library?

P.S. Note that none of these books are DRM-protected.They are all public domain titles from sites like Project Gutenberg.

P.P.S. Also note that my Sony Reader is not the latest one (PRST1, which is WiFi). Mine is the PRS-650. Do your instructions apply to my model?
