Thanks for the info. Inability to write PDF embedded Title/Author metadata on the first pass has been driving me crazy. Only solution I have found was to allow corrupted data to be written to the Sony eReader (PRS-300 and/or PRS-600) and then manually post an updated change to the eReader on a second pass with Calibre. Had assumed there was a better way and that I must be doing something wrong in my use of the application.
