Medata problems with prc/mobi formats

I use an EZ Reader (which is the same hardware as a Hanlin V3), which won't display a file's title if one of the fields is "unkown". I'm trying to use Stanza to edit the Metadata (command-i), but after I change it, it seems to be overwritten back to "unkown".

Here's a screenshot. You can see I've tried editing the Author metadata multiple times, but it keeps getting overwritten to "Unknown". I'm using prc/mobi format on Mac OS X

However when I try to download it I obtain

Stanza doesn't yet support

Stanza doesn't yet support built-in dictionaries. You might be able to transform the book into one of Stanza's supported formats (ePub or eReader) by opening it with Stanza Desktop and sharing it with Stanza iPhone, but then it would just read like a book, and wouldn't provide any dictionary lookup functions.

Thanks very much for pointing that out. We'll try to fix that for the next version.
