I think many PG books are in EPUB v2, as I noticed I could use Polish books to upgrade them to v3. Also, this is probably why I see a date when I check a file exported with Save to disk or Send to device, and perhaps why I'm missing the aforementioned fields after converting to .AZW3. Appreciate it.
