Fixed up Title and Authors....

Anarel · 05-03-2010, 09:42 AM

And after having saved the files onto my kindle, none of the books' notes and highlights are showing up.... but the mbp files are there.

By renaming them have I, like dissociated the book file from the notes/highlights/furthest page read file?

Help would be much appreciated >_<;;

yes if you rename books you will dissociate them from their corresponding mbp files. You'll have to rename the mbp files by hand to match

Ah, thanks.

>_<;

I was worried a moment there.

Also, when I try to save all the books from my library to a folder, it stalls at the last 15% of the bar and never completes the transfer..

Another question ^_^;;

I know now that I have to update the mbp file to match the ebook file, but do I leave all the numbers in the title, while editing it? Do I make the author and author sort match the book as well?

Thanks in advance!

just make the two filenames identical (upto the extension)

Somebody more familiar with the Kindle will have to help you on that.

Thanks for the try ^^!

Fixed it.

Apparently ALL the metadata has to be the same, title, author, everything. AND when editing the title of the mpb, you have to delete that string of numbers. Got it all done now ^^
