new Mobipocket thread
I accidentally posted this in the other thread, eek! anywho...
Sorry for another mobipocket reader thread. While I posted this in my last thread about converting to mobi in mass, it was a little irrelevant to the original subject, and I think few are still reading that thread by now. Hopefully the following applies to other as well.
So here it is. Despite loving mobipocket reader, I'm having a few minor problems with it that I would like to resolve. First, when I add a folder of books, it adds the first book of the list labeled with the correct title and author, but all books that follow automatically insert the same author as the first book! So if drag a large folder of books with the first book in the folder being Harry Potter, all the books following this will have J.K. Rowling as the author. Any ideas? It's been frustrating re-labeling every book one by one.
Second, I'm loving having my books organized by author and title, and the Reading Lists add a nice extra organization aspect, but is there more to the organization feature with Mobipocket that I'm just missing? I feel like the reading lists should be expandable just like Windows Explorer with folders. Then I could make one reading list called "Fiction" and within that reading list have different genres (a "mystery" subfolder, "adventure," ect). Wouldn't that make sense. Is there a better way for organization?
Third, some of my books are in .DOC and although I have the similar free version of Microsoft Office (Open Office), it still won't let me add .DOC files because I "don't have Word installed." Any way around this?
Fourth, um, yeah I think that's it actually Sorry to throw all my problems at you, but I sure appreciate the help!
Thanks!
Doug
