Heh, I'm just storing them elsewhere. Nothing too involved, just subfolders by the authors' names (last, first for me), and then sub-sub folders to keep series books together (I renamed them '01 title,' '02 title,' etc to keep the order). I did grab copies of the Connect books and catalog them similarly, changing their horrid names to something a human can read and understand.
![]() If you don't have a big collection, that's the best time to start cataloging them, less initial work. ![]() |

How do you change the names on the books from the Connect store? I couldn't see how to do it through the UI and I assumed the books contain metadata tags that drive the Reader display, or does the Connect software really just read the file names to build the index?

The meta-data is encoded in the file -- you can't change it -- but ConnSoft doesn't give a wet slap what the actual file name is, you can change that with impunity in plain old Windows Explorer.
![]() For instance, instead of '2DF4DF3A54S.LRX' (or whatever the blazes it was) my file name reads simply 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.LRX' -- ConnSoft looks at the meta-data to figure out what to display, I look at the nice English file name to tell what the stupid file actually is, and we're both of us happy. ![]() |

It's amazing the interesting things that catch you attention when browsing non-mainstream books. (Blood, Sweat and Tea and Flyboy: Comes with Action Figure come to mind.) |

I've got no Connect Store books on my Reader (really must use my credit before it expires!)
