Query: Getting Title to Appear How You Want It To Appear - Page 2

Reading lists are part of the metadata stored in the .mbp and are available in mobipocket desktop AND on mobipocket on the Palm. I'll be disappointed if I lose them on the Cybook. Does the Cybook not use .mbp for its bookmarks?

It's like a tagging system. I have a "reading list" for every series of book, and a "reading list" for every genre. That way you can look at certain subsections of your library. I also have an "unread" reading list.

I guess I'll have to try and be patient and see the built in software for myself.

I have a Cybook, and I never heard of anything like reading lists on it. You just have books, and bookmarks in books, nothing more.

As Harry noted, the Cybook does use .mbp files to some extent -- but unfortunately does not use the book information contained therein (it only uses that stored in the .prc/mobi file itself).

Also unfortunately, it does not use the "reading lists" of desktop or PDA Mobipocket Reader. I wish it did -- it would make access to large book collections so much easier.

If you do indeed "wish it did" support reading lists and other features of the .mbp file would you mind posting about it on the mobipocket forum? I did and an admin said he'd "put it on the wish list" (with it being support for the reading list feature of the .mbp).

I figure that the more voices we get saying they want it, the higher up on the feature request list it will climb.

Here's a link (or maybe just a URL) to the thread I started over there...
