MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Aura Show further metadata on "My Books" list

Dear Forum,

last week my new Aura One finally arrived at home. These days I'm checking its features and settings.

I want to say that I am going not to buy books through Kobo Store: my aim is rather to manage my own e-books (bought elsewhere), and upload articles saved from the web and converted to ePub. I am used to edit the metadata with Calibre or EPubMetadatEditor, to customize sorting, title, cover, and to correct possible inaccuracies.

Anyway, on "My Books" list, by default the Title and the Author are shown by default. But I saw that some of the books uploaded in the last days also showed informations like Series and Index, that was very useful for me.

So I added the Series and Series Index entries also to other books and articles, but still they appear as before, only with Titleand Author.

I examined tha metadata on the ePubs showing such those additional info, but did'nt notice anything different from the other ePubs. Unfortunately, I removed them now, so that I can't post their metadata here, to help you deducing what makes difference.

In the end, do you know how to edit metadata so that Series and Index regularly appear in "My Books" list?

Thank you!
