Hi,

I found the Metadata Editor program on the forum when looking to get my books to display correctly in "Books" on my Kindle Fire... Thanks to Gluggy!

My next question is whether there is a way to do this in a batch. I have thousands of books and many of them converted from epub or lit files so I'm guessing many if not most are missing the correct CDETYPE (EBOK). Is this possible with Mobi2Mobi?

And is it possible with the metadata editor (or Mobi2Mobi) to "save" as the original file without getting the "Error renaming temp file..." ? I just want to overwrite the file I opened so I don't have to add the "new" book to my library and then remove the "old" book... Hope I'm making sense... Or maybe I'm missing something

TIA,
Sbergstc

p.s. To KovidGoyal... LOVE LOVE LOVE Calibre. Have used the free desktop for many years, and now the paid "companion" app on tablet & phone. Thanks for a wonderful tool!!!
