Question to developers:

How can I get metainformations from books?

For example:
If I want to get the filetype I use this statement:

Code:

FileSystem.getMIMEType(kbook.model.currentBook.media.path)

So far so good.

I additionally would need:

Author
Pub.Date
Filedate
Filesize
...

Questioned the other way round:

I tried to incorporate Terisa's file found to be here:
http://code.google.com/r/terisam-cha...om_BookInfo.js
But it doesn't work well. So far as I can see, it should show file meta data like mentioned above.

Or questioned the 3rd way:

I want to use vanilla book information but additionally with genre and collections

Thank you!
