When you update the author/title using Windows MobiPocket Reader the MOBI file isn't updated but instead the new information goes into the associated .mbp file. These files are marked as hidden, so you may need to check tools -> folder options -> view -> show hidden files to see them. So far as I know, none of the EInk devices with MOBI support import and use the Windows .mbp files - so all this information is lost when the ebook is copied to the device.
I'm not sure it makes any difference on the BeBook (i.e. if the author and title is used at all), but the generic fix for this is to use MobiPerl's, mobi2mobi command with its --mbpfile option to get this information into the actual MOBI file. Note that there are Windows binaries for MobiPerl (so you don't need to install Perl), but it is a command line tool. There is a GUI, see Mobi2Mobi v0.13 - GUI for Mobiperl but I'm not sure if it supports --mbpfile.
One of the big advantages of the BeBook is that it has folders and so you can organize your ebooks by folders. However, Windows MobiPocket Reader does not support folders. So you can't use Windows MobiPocket Reader's export capability if you want to take advantage of folders. Just copy files to the device just as you would to any USB drive. I also suggest use a consistent file naming convention, e.g. Author_TitleOfTheBook.prc or whatever works for you. |
I Think Hanlin V3 creates MBP files when .PRC files are copied to the device, with the firmware last released by Jinke supporting .prc files
