how to edit book metadata in iBooks
I like iBooks - as a reader it's much better than Kindle, and nearly as good as som of the Android readers i've used.
The problem I have is that the Bookshelf is nearly unusable. It has metadata for "Collections", "Author" and "Category", but it looks like the only one I can make chages to is "Collections".
I have books where the author's name is misspelled or in the wrong order, eg. "A. Smith" vs. "Smith, A.", where the Category is just wrong - even within a series of related books.
I thought had the problem solved by exporting the books to Calibre, changing the information there, and importing them back into iBooks, but nothing changes.
I've tried editing the iTunesMetadata.plist file that lives in the folder with the rest of the pdfs and jpegs thet comprise each book, but that seems to have no effect either.
The list view in iBooks contains all of the data I would like to change, but there does not seem to be any editing capability in it.
Does anybody have ideas how I can fix up my book collection?
