Question about Metadata
How does the Libre/Jetbook handle metadata? I plan to use Calibre to fine tune my library. Does the Libre display file names in the books view, or does it display file names? Is any other information displayed or available in any view, such as tags or genre?
Thanks. |

The Libre only displays the filename, not including the extension. It does let you sort stuff into folders, so I have my books filed as \Genre\Author\Series Name\# - Book.epub. The Jetbook has different firmware, so it may display them differently, not sure.

So, there will be no option on the Libre to sort by either Title or Author? Thanks.

Yes it will read the meta data if the file has it, at least for pdf. When viewing the book menus, it will put the author meta data on the top line (justified to the left) of the menu item and put the title metadata on the bottom line (justified to the right) of the menu item. If there is no meta data for the pdf file, it will just use the filename with deleted underscores and deleted extension. For example, if the following file had no metadata: Ayn_Rand-Atlas_Shrugged.pdf It would be displayed as: Ayn Rand-Atlas Shrugged
Txt files are different. If you name the text file the following way, it will place the author and book title in the menu as described above: Author_Name#Book_Title.txt I recommend you take one of each type of file you have, modify the meta data as you like and change the file name as you like. Load that file onto the Jetbook, and see if you like how it is displayed in the menu. If you like it, do the rest of that type that way. If you don't like it, try something else until you do like it. |
