I've formatted a LOT of stuff (for myself, but before the Upload Section), but I'm still having trouble doing these things:

1) Where/how do you put the "by" (the word between the author and title)?

2) I STILL cannot get a picture right after the author (or title, depending on which ever one is last). What happens is that the picture is on the NEXT page. I've tried and tried. I've created the page break afte the pic, but it doesn't seem to be effective.

3) Are some of you having to reverse the author and title, just to get it the way you want. The "problem" is that the "Make Sony Reader" (as most know by now), does not allow one to elegantly switch and make the title the first thing one reads, so I've solved that by simply reversing it: For example, I put the title of the book in the AUTHOR field on the "Make Sony Reader" window.

Is that how you're doing it, Harry?
The answer to all these questions is to write the title page yourself, don't let BD generate one for you. On the "Options" page of the "Make Sony Reader" dialog, check the "Skip cover page" and "Skip front page page" boxes. That way, BD won't generate a title page for you, and you can simply design one yourself, as I do. I describe, in detail, how I do this in my tutorial in the "Book Uploads" forum section.

When you do your own cover page, simply give the title the "Book Title" style, and the author the "Book Author" style - that way they come out right in the "Make Sony Reader" dialog.

Hope that helps!
