Import PDF Metadata to Moon+

[Bunny1582]

Hey everybody!

I have been searching for a solution to my little problem for a while now and so far, none of the forums or internet reviews or homepages have come up with something that fixed my problem. (Although I would also not rule out the fact that I might have misssed the forest for the trees. ;-) )

Anyway, this is my problem:

I am using my Asus Transformer TF101 as my ebook reader. After trying out a few apps, I have grown to like the free version of Moon+ Reader. It's the easiest to use for me and does exactly what I want it to do. Plus, I like the layout and reading experience best there.

I am managing my ebook collection on my computer in calibre where I change and update my meta data. Since I'm interested in a lot of different things, I'm grouping my books into series for a better overview, because I find that easier than grouping them by tags since some tags overlap. (For example, I have baseball books that I tagged as 'Non-Fiction' and I have books on dinosaurs that I tagged as 'Non-Fiction'. However, I group the baseball books under my 'baseball' series and the dinosaur books under my 'dinosaur' series.)

Now, there's a lot of books that I have only in PDF-format and they include a lot of illustrated books.

Syncing my device with calibre works perfectly fine and it also updates the metadata without any fuss or problems. However, Moon+ doesn't load the metadata for the PDFs. I could go and change the metadata manually in Moon+, but a) I still can't the PDFs to any series this way and b) if I update my library via calibre, it also changes the PDFs metadata back to what I had before I changed them in Moon+.

So now my question is:
Is there any way to import the metadata set for PDFs in calibre into Moon+, so it works the same way this works for books in epub or mobi format?

OR

Does anyone of you know a good converter to change illustrated books to epubs without losing the picture quality or the books getting totally distorted?


Thank you all very much in advance!

You can try using Calibre Companion to manage your books on your tablet. It won't let Moon+ get the updated metadata, but connecting wirelessly in CC to Calibre will automatically update the metadata in CC. You can use CC to group your books and CC will open Moon+ to read your books.
