I think it is possible that the metadata can be extracted fast enough from an epub to use it in real time, but what is needed first is a C program (say) that does this and nothing else. By the way, it is definitely possible to extract the author and title from a MOBI in real time, so at a minimum Jinke should add MOBI to the class of metadata-visible formats.

Sure, as I say they are already grabbing all sorts of stuff and putting it in files on the system. After the first time there is not reason not to have it. I believe there should be an about available from the eBook browser. Instead of tapping the number for the book you should also be able to hold the button and get the about stuff including all the meta data.
