Thanks for the prompty reply. But,

1. If I do
Code:
ebook-convert lifehacker.recipe lifehacker.mobi
I could get a ebook with authors and descriptions.

2. I tried to add these to article's HTML files:
Code:
<head>
    <meta charset='utf-8'>
    <meta content="here is the author" name="author"/>
    <meta content="here is the description" name="description" />
    <title>India blocks Colgate patents for spices</title>
  </head>
Then run
Code:
ebook-convert book.opf book.mobi
But still, "No details available".

What do you mean "per article metadata"?

By the way, if use kindlegen as
Code:
kindlegen lifehacker.opf lifehacker.mobi
I could get a ebook with authors and descriptions.
