Thanks for the instructions, from me, too. I used some of the tips to modify settings on my T1 and in Calibre. Now Calibre will show the mobi's I have loaded into the Sony, not just the epubs. Very nice!

I noticed after I unhooked it that, on the Sony side, under Collections, there are 4 times as many as there were before, this despite my changing tags so they wouldn't show up. I don't know why it shows over 2000 collections when I don't have more than 10 or 15 tags in Calibre. Well I think it includes author, title and series as a Collection there. Which seems odd.

I did have the T1 freeze while I was poking around in it after updating the metadata then unhooking it from the computer. (I didn't load any books, but I did delete a few via Calibre). I was trying some of the features I don't normally use. I believe I was on the Android side going through the Books by Author list in Coolreader. It froze in such a way that not even reset affected it. The only thing that worked was to plug the USB into the computer. That broke the freeze and restored it. I left in in to charge for a while (though it was fully charged). It has been working fine since, though I am reluctant to mess with that particular feature again!
