It seems that the connect software (short of transferring books to the Reader) is useless. I was told by the salesman at the Sony Store that the connect software was like iTunes for the iPod. However, this is not even close to correct. With iTunes, I can rename mp3 listings, change info, etc. I wish I could do that with the Connect software.
Connect is not meant to change the meta data of books. It is meant to do what it does and it does it well. You have to blame whomever created the books with the poor meta data in the first place. That said, there are tools to allow you to fix the info of a book in LRF (BBeB without DRM). One of the tools is included in the libprs500 package. The program in question is lrf-meta. As for PDF, I have no idea how to fix those. Never tired, noever cared, think PDF is crap for ebooks.
