Hello from Sunny QLD Australia

Hiyas all. I have been lurking here reading up on a few things for a couple weeks now and I thought Id better say hello.

About me : My name is Tony and I read way too much. I read while getting ready for work, on the way to work, at work (heheh), and read when I get home. In between al that reading I have a missus who reads as much as me or more, thats why I love her so much and for my wonderful 5 children, three who are grown up but wont leave home.

I have over 3000 paperback books in my library and 1000 hardcover books. I have spent the last year obtaining electronic versions mainly from Mobipocket and other means. As my eyes get worse I need bigger and bigger fonts to be able to read. I use PDAs to read with and my wife has just switched to electronic reading as well.

Why am I here and what do I want :

I have purchased just over 300 electronic books (Mobipocket, Baen mainly) and have around 400 others (classics and not so classic) in HTML, word, LIt and Text formats and want to convert them all to mobipocket, which is not a problem with Mobipocket creator. But I am wanting to make sure that I have the correct metadata inserted in all books when I convert them to mobipocket format including a cover.
Im hoping someone makes a program that I can do all this in one run. I have purchased all the Amber Converters and their free ones as well, so conversion is not a problem. I just like my library to look good.

Well thats me, thanks for reading about me and you all have a wonderful day and Ill see ya online.

Cheers
Tony
