The ePub format does not make it easy to find the title. You have to extract the OPF file from the zipped ePub and then find the title within the OPF. Calibre can extract metadata from many ebook formats, see ebook-meta, but it is written in python which isn't installed on most EInk devices.
In the case of ePub (and PDF) I think ADE's SDK should include a tool for extracting the title from an ebook. It would then to up to Jinke (say) to use the tool for ebook listings. |
They do get the title and author in the about for the eBook so they do know how to extract it. Adobe or somebody is already squirreling away all sorts of data on the reader. There is a directory called .adobe_digital_reader that gets created and in addition the inside of the created folder Digital Editions there may be two folders called Annotations and Thumbnails that get created.
