Hi everyone,

I downloaded "The Mysterious Affair at Styles" by Agatha Christie from the MobileRead catalog directly to my Kindle 1. Since half the title seems to be missing and I can't sort by author, I decided to try Calibre to edit the metadata. When I imported the book into Calibre, it said the format was .mbp. When I downloaded it from MobileRead, it said .prc. Anyway, I added the Author in the correct place and tried to send it to my device. Calibre said the .mbp format could not be read on my device and it seems it refused to send it. So I tried just copying it to the documents folder. When I looked at it on the kindle, nothing seems to have changed.

So far, I have not gotten anything to work in Calibre. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
