organizing "series" in mobipocket

rheostaticsfan · 06-11-2008, 04:26 PM

So, I have over 100 books in my mobipocket library including a few series of books. I can't find any way to assign an order to the books and I'd really like one. Does anyone have workarounds for me? Unfortunately purchse date doesn't work for me and last read date isnt' helpful. I would use the star ratings for order (since I don't use them for ratings) but that only gets me up to 5...unless I use star on/star off as binary counting. But, although I'm somewhat geekish, binary representations aren't exactly intuitive to me. (as in I may have to write out every number from 1 up until I find the number I'm looking for)

Does anyone have any other suggestions for me?

I take it back, you can't turn on and off individual stars...so it's just a count to 5.

Any other ideas?

I organize by folder, either author or series. I know that it will find the ebooks in folders, but I don't know that you can see the folders on the Palm Mobi Reader.

I added the flag --prefixtitle to mobi2mobi for this. So

Code:

  mobi2mobi --outfile new.awz --prefixtitle "01-" old.awz

should work. You will get the old title prefixed with "01-".
