Disclaimer: I like using iBooks. I like not having to run my own server, use complicated programs for different uses and I like the "simple yet powerful" experience that Apple likes to brag about.
Having said that, I can't understand WHY they took away to ability to edit metadata. All was well when we had ePub in iTunes.
So anyway, I get by, I can edit book titles in iBooks for the desktop, add [Seriesname #] to book titles to get things all nicely organized. I need that because I can't remember the correct order of titles etc.
Anyhow ... all was well, still, before I used the cloud and synced my phone with my desktop. THEN I was supersmart and activated iCloud for iBooks ... and all was not well anymore.
FINALLY MY QUESTION: how can I use tools like Sigil, Calibre or ePub Metadata Editor when the epubs are stored in a folder that is no longer accessible to me via finder?
Remember when files were stored in
Code:
/Users/'USERNAME'/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks
Now it's
Code:
~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~com~apple~iBooks/Documents/
and the only way to access then is through the terminal app.
Anybody know anything on how to get to these files to edit them? Or bake iBooks title changes into the actual epub file?
