When trying to change the book title are you using the following command structure (which is a bit longer for Amazon .azw books)?


mobi2mobi originalFILEname.azw --outfile revisedFILEename.azw --exthtype updatedtitle --exthdata revisedBOOKname


Edit: Oops, you said "author" not "title". Ignore the above for now (you'll need it later).
I’m ignoring .azw books... the only ones from Amazon I want to change are Topaz format, which I think are quite different in format.

I use the same syntax that I’ve used with the Windows mobi2mobi.exe program:

Mobi2mobi “filetitle.prc” --outfile “other filetitle.prc“ --author “real name”

I’ve never used the exthxxx parameters. When are they appropriate?

Mike
