Use the libprs500 gui to delete files from the reader. It automatically removes the corresponding entry from the correct XML database.

Let me be a bit more specific here.

(1) Which file contains the metatdata that the Reader Software uses?

(2) What are the tags that begin and end a section relating to a specific book?

Great work guys! Thanks!

I have completely avoided PDFs because they suck beyond measure on the Reader. This opens up a whole new realm of possibilities!

Hey Scotty:

Does your mountable file system give access to the meta-data for books? Either directly, or via the xml file that the reader keeps on the card/in memory? It'd be cool to be able to update meta-data about books while writing them onto the reader.
(Yes, I know... libprs500 does that now in an integrated fashion. I'm looking for still other ways of doing it.)

Update on this issue.

I checked the media.xml file in both the database/cache and tmp/database/cache directories, and there are no references to my problematic book.

I re-generated the lrf, creating a 27-entry TOC. Transferred with Connect software, and STILL have the 30-40 second load problem (after pressing "5" for TOC Menu).

Unless there is another location for metadata, I don't think the problem is related to direct transferring via "readerfs" or the Mac GUI version. It's this particular book. Very much so, since every other LRF I genrerate, many with 30 TOC entries, load in 5 seconds.

Xenophon, as you can see from the above, it indeed does give access to the metadata. It's in two locations:
<mountpoint>/Reader/database/cache/media.xml
and
<mountpoint>/Reader/tmp/database/cache/media.xml
In the "tmp" directory, I still have references to the original "excerpt" ebooks that came with my Reader -- long since deleted. And looking at libprs500 to verify my suspicions, it seems like that one isn't used. The libprs500 only refers to "Reader/database/cache/media.xml" in its code.

Generating the Metadata is another issue all together, and scotty's program alone doesn't do this... so you've only won half the battle going that route.

There can be various sources for slowdowns in an LRF file. Too many TextBlocks, a single very large Page element, ...

Ah! Good info!

Is there a rule of thumb about when to use a new page? I go one page structure per chapter.

you'll need to experiment
add textblocks to a page and see where the slowdown starts

All right! I was carelessly generating a TextBlock per paragraph. Now I only generate on demand, and this made a HUGE difference. The Table of Content Menu loads instantly now. Not 5 seconds, not 2 seconds, but the instant you hit the "5" button.

Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction. I'm very happy with this new update!

And this sounds the all clear for using Docudesk / readerfs to transfer files. They had nothing to do with my slow LRF.

I know this is an old thread, however can someone tell me where to find the latest (or last) version of this FUSE filesystem is to be found?
Sounds like a terrific idea..

I got this error:
I think it is not so much a version problem as much as it is that you don't have the FUSE library and kernel modules installed. I'm a Fedora Core guy but search your software package repositories for fuse-libs and fuse-kmdl, basically anything to do with something called 'fuse', and install them.
