Most importantly I am interested in tags for name and title (information the Kindle seems to use when creating the Home library). What tags in html would be translated into name and title for the mobi?
The Mobipocket site has details in it's help/FAQ section for Mobigen/Mobipocket Creator on what tags it supports. That's always a good place to start. Also, the Kindlegen zipfile has a sample ebook to study.
