I apologize in advance if this needs to be moved to the Nook section.

I am completely new to the ebook scene having just bought my first device, a Nook. I have some htm books that I am converting to epub format. Everything works great, the covers load as page 1 (not in cover flow unfortunately), spacing and returns are correct. However, the book "details" are not transferring to the Nook.

On the Info screen of a book, it shows:
Title
Author
(full width line)
"Details" (appears to be a simple title)
"Publication Date:" Date
"File Path:" Path

In Calibre, I edit the Meta Information. I change the "Date:" field, the "Published:" field, the "Comments" field, but it does not appear that this information is transferring to the Nook. In fact, the Publication Date field that does appear seems to be the "Date Modified" date as shown in Windows.

Thanks in advance for your help. Great tools and information.
