One thing: I recently imported lots of ePub books from OceanofPDF and find that the internal database entries for these books contain numerous mistakes, for instance, author names aren't normalized - the same author name appears in several varieties which makes the 'authors' list pretty much unusable.
I could edit each book entry manually maybe but I wonder if there is some software out there that I could use to correct the database entries. I used to work as a database programmer so my natural impulse would be to somehow extract the database on the Kobo Glo, import it into a PC based database management system, normalie the entries, and transfer it back.
Any chance of doing that?
The solution is to STOP DOWNLOADING EBOOKS FROM AN ILLEGAL EBOOK SHARING SITE!
