Changing metadata to allow "Share finished book" on Facebook

AyeKay · 05-07-2012, 03:18 PM

I'm looking to be able to share that I've finished a book (using Kindle keyboard) and am currently getting the dreaded "Sharing no supported" message!

I'm using MOBI files that were not purchased from Amazon.

I've done a fair bit of reading and have come to the conclusion that all I have to do is change the ASIN in the metadata to be the same as the book for sale at Amazon and also set the CDECONTENTTYPE=EBOK using the Calibre Output Options checkbox.

However, I'm at a loss how to edit the metadata to achieve this... Can anyone please help?

I'm not using the page sync feature as I only read on one device and I know that this feature is mutually exclusive to the 'share' functionality

If anyone's interested... I've found the solution!
It was right under my nose on this forum all of the time...!

To allow the completion of a book to be shared on Facebook, use the javascript from here:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho....php?p=1929488
to edit the mobi file:
Record "113 ASIN" to the ASIN from the book from Amazon's kindle store &
Record "501 CDE type" to EBOK

Many thanks to gluggy, you're a star!
