Oh, how I'd love to be able to edit metadata. I'd love to be able to fix the odd book that has the author name reversed or a title that still sorts with "The" or "A". And some self-published books have all sorts of metadata tacked on to the end of the title which is, in a word, a mess. Yes, some of that can be done in Calibre (if the book has no DRM or you're willing to go through lots of steps), but I'd so love to be able to simply tap an icon and then type in the name that I'd like a book to sort under.

Hey, it never hurts to dream, right?
