Hoi Tika,



Ralph is right as far as I know, there is no easy solution. I think ABC
AMBER-Litconverter is an easy way to convert lit books to a lot of other formats
even in batch. It is free on the ABC-Amber webside. You could convert your
books in MS-word doc files (and a lot of other formats) and then with the
Microsoft word –RMR (free on the microsoft side) edit them, change the
frontpage and so on. And make a proper lit book of it with the right author and
so on. Time-consuming of course.



There are other solutions. I use a library program. I eventually use 2. The
first one is book-collectorz from Collectorz-com. (There’s a free-trial but
the program is almost € 40) You give the name of the book and the author and
the program searches on the web and in libraries (you can specify) a lot of
information of the book, like ISBN, a picture of the frontpage and so on. Nice
but I doesn’t give the location of the book and you can’t open it from the
library. It Is for paper books and not really for eBooks. That’s program 2.
“My EBook-library”. It’s freeware. It searches in your folders for eBooks
in a lot of formats and gives a list. You click on the list and there’s your
book. As long as names of the books-files are correct, it works fine But then
starts the work. From the file name you have to give in e author van the name of
the book and eventually the isdn-code. A lot of work again. There is even a
third solution. There is a nice program called Bookshelf. Freeware again. You
can use it for reading txt- documents. There are even more programs of this kind
like Ice-eBooks.



I wish you a lot of success and hope to have been of any help. Perhaps also for
others. I would like to hear that. Other might have found other solutions I like
to hear that to.

Sorry for my English. I’m Dutch.



Greeting



Martin

Sorry, the short answer is no, at least not easily. When you sort by
author, for example, you are sorting by the information stored inside
the file. You are at the mercy of whoever created the file as to what
they put in it. There IS something you can do, but it takes some work
on your part. You can disassemble the LIT file (you can get "convlit"
here: http://www.convertl <http://www.convertlit.com/> it.com/ ) change
information as you please
and then use a LIT maker to reassemble the ebook. Readerworks (
http://www.overdriv <http://www.overdrive.com/readerworks/> e.com/readerworks/ )
sells a LIT maker, but they
also have a free version which is limited in some ways. Microsoft also
has an a free extension for MS Word that allows you to make LIT ebooks
from a DOC file, which I do not have. I've used Convlit and a paid
copy of Readerworks Pro a couple of times to do as you want in
addition to making my own. It was quite time consuming, but it worked.
I've only done the disassembly on a couple of free ebooks because they
were so badly put together, not on any that were purchased. I'm not
sure of the copyrights here when it comes to disassembling ans
reassembling a LIT file. I have a Pocket PC that I carry my ebooks on,
but I only carry a few at a time and keep the rest stored on my
desktop. One other thing, I mostly rename the file to be something I
can make sense of through the file manager.
