It might be a bug in the current (0.0.38) release of the mobipocket tools, or it might be a problem with the CyBook. The only way to tell is to look at the converted file and see if everything is correct in the header structures.
If you send me your hacked copy of the book (no need to include the PID - I don't need to read the book to examine the file structure) I'll take a quick look, as I have some tools to make that easier than just looking at the raw file data.

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?
