Hey RWood, you hint at utilities that can modify files in the reader. Could you tell me which utility?

Here's my problem. I've got a bunch of books on my Reader, but the titles are too long. I would like to be able to modify the titles to make them shorter so that I can read the title from within the reader.

Example title:
Clancy, Tom - Jack Ryan 01 - The Hunt for Red October

This title is so long that on the reader all I see is:
Clancy, Tom - Jack Ryan 01 - The

As you can imagine it makes it hard for me to figure out which book I'm opening up.

I've got about 105 books on my reader. It would take awhile to delete all of my current books, change the titles, then upload them back to the reader. Instead I'd love a program that would allow me to directly access that information directly from my PC and change the titles.

I don't know why the Connect software doesn't do that. Personally, I hate the Connect software. It's very slow and goes unresponsive when transferring data, adding books to collections, deleting files, etc.

In short, does anyone know of a PC based utility that could replace Connect and provide me the ability to rename my files?

Thanks for the help.
