hi wallcraft,

yes i did make the changes in the windows mobipocket reader (little did i know at the time the issues with export...). i have looked at the mobiperl tools and as you say they can extract the mbp information but only separately from each book file rather than as one document for the whole library.

i was considering moving to calibre but as i don't really need all the information i can get from the web, i've decided to use a good old csv document and then when it's all done import it to listpro so i have the list with me whereever i go.

i was hoping not to have to retype the couple of thousand book entries i already had in mobipocket but there seems no way around it that i can find.

thanks for your advice and the explanation on the mbp files - it's confirmed what i thought - just thought maybe i was missing something out there that would help.
