I installed the embed button but that did not work. I am not shure if calibre did not touch the epub again during file transfer rewriting evreything.
As I wanted to see who is the culprit I set up a test scenario:
- I removed any non dc: metadata elements from my epubs within calibre with the plug-in "Modify epub options" (see metadata_calibre.jpg)
- then I transferred all epubs directly (without calibre) to my IP3 to avoid "contamination" by calibre tagging
- As you would expect: all files displayed correctly but without series information. No garbled information.
- Then transferred the same files to IP3 directly by calibre: and again the IP3 reads out calibre metadata text with the word 'series' in it and displays it as a series element. Complete nonsense. (see scr001.jpg)
- finally I tagged some series elements in calibre and transferred them to the IP3. Same situation as before - only one out of six items flagged as series title (see Metadata_calibre_series.jpg and scr002.jpg)
This is a complete mess!
