Changing "Personal Doc tag" with ebook-convert CLI tool
When I use the Calibre GUI interface, I can change the "Personal Doc tag" from "[PDOC]" to "[EBOK]" so that ebooks show up as "Books" instead of "Documents" on my Kindle:
http://support.oreilly.com/oreilly/t...kindle_devices However, I'm having a hard time doing this using the "ebook-convert" command line tool. I've tried all of the following: Code:
ebook-convert input.epub output.epub --personal-doc=EBOK ebook-convert input.epub output.epub --personal-doc=EBOK --tags=EBOK ebook-convert input.epub output.epub --personal-doc='[EBOK]' ebook-convert input.epub output.epub --personal-doc='[EBOK]' --tags='[EBOK]' ebook-convert input.epub output.epub --personal-doc='' ebook-convert input.epub output.epub --personal-doc='' --tags='' Last edited by choogi; 11-05-2015 at 04:09 PM. |

I don't believe calibre supports mangling the PDOC tag via the command line.
Reason being, because it is applied during send-to-device, not conversion. |

ebook-convert produces MOBI files with EBOK set by default. You can check that by using
calibre-debug file.mobi and looking for the 501 record in header.txt for the dumped MOBI file. |
