Perhaps someone can help me.
I am trying to do the most basic of tasks: convert the text file of a book into a .prc file to read on my Kindle. The conversion works fine, the book turns out fine, but with one problem: no matter what I do, the author will not display on the Kindle. I like to sort my Kindle books by author, but anything I've converted myself is at the very end of the title list, with no author displayed.
I re-converted the book several times from scratch with Book Designer, making sure to assign the author and title correctly. In the finished product, the title displays perfectly on the Kindle, but the author field is blank.
I converted the text file again with Mobipocket Creator, adding the author and a .jpg for a cover picture. However, after conversion, even within Mobipocket Creator, the author field had been blanked and the .jpg was gone. Again, the text converted fine, is readable on my Kindle, and the title displays perfectly. Just no author or title page photo. The info won't seem to "stick."
What am I doing wrong?
