Need help with 7.21, please

CCLady · 10-02-2010, 01:09 PM

It appears that the new release, 7.21, will allow me to do exactly what I want, which is to include the series information with the title when I move the files to my Kindle.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I go to the appropriate screen (under Preferences) and choose all formats and Kindle. I then paste this

{author_sort}/{series}/{title} {series_index}

and choose title. I click on apply.

I have sent a file to my Kindle 1 and to my Kindle 3. Neither included the series data.

Where am I going wrong?

You need to use the plugboard to change the title information in the file, so that the kindle will see it. See this thread, and in particular the second and third posts.

Edited to add I spoke a little too soon. It does work perfectly - on the K1. It doesn't work on the K3. Would this be a driver issue?

Which device do you use in your plugboard? I use KINDLE2 which also support the K3.

I used the one that just said Kindle. I'll try the other one. Thank you!

Using Kindle2 did the trick.
