KB0007: Adding multiple titles in the metadata

You can add multiple titles by clicking on the ... button next to the book title in your metadata, and then clicking Add to add further elements. In Epub 2, it is not possible to specify further information for title elements to indicate what they mean, but for Epub 3, you can specify the title-type property with a value of main, subtitle, short, collection, edition, or extended. These properties will be suppressed for Epub 2 generation.

Kindlegen gives an error if you specify multiple titles without specifying title-type, regardless of whether the files used to compile the file are in Epub 2 or Epub 3 format. Since Jutoh can't generate a mixture of Epub 2 and Epub 3 syntax, it deletes all but the first title element in Epub 2 mode. If you need to specify several titles for Kindle books, change the Epub version configuration setting to 3.
