Question How can I rename a Mobi book?
I've noticed that the title displayed in my Cybook is not the name of the file. How can I change it? Renaming the file doesn't do it...

mobi2mobi in MobiPerl can do this.

Thank you! I've been renaming some books but...

I've noticed that the mobi2mobi GUI has an option to choose an image for a book. So I thought about picking a coverless book and add the cover using the mobi"mobi GUI software. However, the cover and thumbnail aren't displayed in the Cybook. Is it a bug?

Mobipocket eBooks store the information about the book in the metadata inside the file. The name has nothing to do with that. Also, if the eBook is Huffdic compressed, Mobi2Mobi will not work to sort it out. But, as most Mobipocket eBooks on the forum are in standard compression mobi2mobi will work fine with them to fix the ones that may not have a cover or improper metadata due to the use of Book Designer to generate the book.

Had you transferred the book to the Gen3 previously? If so, you need to delete the "filename.t2b" file in order for the new cover thumbnail to be generated and displayed. It's not automatically re-created when you replace the book file on the Gen3.

This is false. Do not spread such mis-information. mobi2mobi do not care how the content is compressed when it edits the meta data.
