Classic Titles gibberish in ereader.com books

LM3298 · 02-02-2010, 11:45 AM

Hello,
I have a few ebooks from ereader.com that I originally purchased for my pocket pc and now transfered to the nook using calibre. The titles for these books show up as gibberish using various characters and letters instead of displaying the name of the book. So far this is only happening with books from ereader.com. Does anyone have a fix for this?
Thanks for any help.

Mine have the same problem. So far, no solution; unless you are willing to decrypt the books you have and recreate them with Calibre with proper meta data.

This is supposed to be fixed in the next firmware update.

I downloaded the update tonight, and now I can read all the titles and authors of the sideloaded books.

Oh, and they can also be sorted by title and author! (Now I just have to figure out how to tell it that "Smith, John" goes under the S's and not the J's. Or change over 300 author listings in Calibre. Sigh.)
