Folders for Displaying Kindle E-Book Content
When I subscribe to a newspaper, say the WJS, all the issues are shown as one item of content called Wall Street Journal. This has nothing to do with the directory structure in the Kindle's file system -- there each issue is laid out flat with the other e-books. Each issue has a very peculiar name which includes "Wall Street Journal" but has more than 19 other characters of garbage.
It would be very useful -- necessary if you fill up 4GB with e-books -- to have a similar way to organize content. Does anyone know how the Kindle UI knows to display subscriptions this way? It could be in the "garbage" characters in the name. It could be within the AWZ control file. Or it could be entirely outside the part of the file system which we are allowed to see. Thanks for any ideas -- Vincent |

Good eye, to notice that. I have nothing to add, but I'll BUMP the thread in case somebody else does. It would be great to be able to add some organization to the Kindle directory display.

This issue was up in another thread. I got a file and modified mobi2mobi to be able to analyse this. I had some ideas of things to test and the person giving me the file did test some of them. I did not here that he succeeded with this.
For example the information I get from a WSJ is: Code:
--------------------------------------------------- FIRST IMG Record Id: 171 --------------------------------------------------- Image record index: 171 (494 x 45) START IMAGE INDEX: 171 COVER IMAGE INDEX: 171 PDHEADER Version: 17480 PDHEADER Length: 673105 PDHEADER NRecords: 166 PDHEADER Recsize: 4096 PDHEADER Unknown: 131072 MOBIHEADER ciflg: 1 MOBIHEADER ciptr: 181 MOBIHEADER doctype: MOBI MOBIHEADER length: 228 MOBIHEADER booktype: 257 - NEWS MOBIHEADER codep: 65001 MOBIHEADER uniqid: 2989656822 MOBIHEADER ver: 5 MOBIHEADER exthflg: 88 MOBIHEADER language: 1033 - 9 - 1 - ENGLISH - ENGLISH_US COVEROFFSET: 0 EXTH doctype: EXTH EXTH length: 392 EXTH n_items: 17 EXTH item: 106 - PublishingDate - 10 - 2008-01-02 EXTH item: 100 - Author - 23 - The Wall Street Journal EXTH item: 101 - Publisher - 23 - The Wall Street Journal EXTH item: 109 - Rights - 63 - © Copyright 2007 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Don't forget to switch file names too. That may be the trick. Last edited by snookums; 01-24-2008 at 12:15 AM. Reason: Added to comment |

Yes, I would do it if I had a Kindle. I am instead waiting for somebody else to find out this information so I can add support for this in mobi2mobi.
