Almost able to set up library, but ..

I'm almost completely able to set up the Library screen on my Cybook Gen 3 with mobi2mobi and Mobipocket reader as I want, but there is one book which has defeated me.

The book is 'The Spirit Ring' available as Bujold-Spirit-Ring-mo.prc from Fictionwise.

I produced the file The_Spirit_Ring.mobi from the original file with mobi2mobi, and entered the Title as The Spirit Ring and the Author as Lois McMaster Bujold. The title and author are what I want when I check the output page of mobi2mobi.


When I read this file with Mobipocket Reader on my computer I see the title and author as entered, and can also see the book cover.

But after I sent The_Spirit_Ring.mobi to the SD Card on my Cybook I see the title as expected. But I don't see any author at all, not even a blank line. The date the file was sent appears directly after the title. And I can't see the book cover; it's just a blank apart from part of the title.

I don't think the problem is with Fictionwise books because I have some other books from them and have been able to set title and author with no problem - though the other books have not had the mo.prc suffix.

Is there something I've missed? How can I overcome the missing author field problem?

Regards, Alex
