Hi Chris - welcome to MobileRead.

I have largely got around the Cybook's sad lack of categories (My old Sony was much better in this respect) by entering the Properties dialogue for each book on Mobipocket and adding a two-letter code to the file-name. Hence the superb "Ancient Mysteries" becomes "re Ancient Mysteries", short for Reference and science-fiction books gain "sf" and a space. This allows all books to be found in categories - a GREAT IMPROVEMENT - pardon me for shouting about it but it has revolutionised my use of this brilliant device.

I'm not entirely sure that I understand what you mean. The CyBook's library displays a book's title, not its filename. You can "edit" the displayed title of a book in the Windows MobiPocket Reader, but those edits are stored locally in the ".mbp" file associated with the book, and are not transferred to the CyBook. To clarify - you are talking about MobiPocket books, aren't you?

There is an excellent tool called "mobi2mobi", written by one of our members, tompe, which will allow you to genuinely edit the title of a MobiPocket book.

Finally; I also use my Palm TX as a reader, primarily for reference works. I wish someone would produce a larger Palm type device with a LCD backlit screen. It would make reading in bed so much more civalized.

Most of us here, I think you'll find, regard eInk screen as being far more "civilized" than LCD . There are large-screen LCD devices available, such as the EBW1150.

You've certainly come to the right place if you have any questions about your CyBook, anyway. Hope you enjoy using it!
