Kindlegen is producing an error from titles

reuven commented 10 years ago

I run "rake deliverables", and get the following message from kindlegen:

Error(opfparser):E20006: There are more than one title defined in OPF metadata. 
But none of them is refined with "title-type" as "main" title. Refer 
http://idpf.org/epub/30/spec/epub30-publications.html#sec-opf-dctitle for more info.

My Rakefile contains the following:

  config.author              = "Reuven M. Lerner"
  config.title               = "Practice Makes Python"

Should I be setting the title elsewhere? Is there another parameter I should be setting? Is Kindlegen broken?

Interesting. This might actually be a new issue due to one of the tools changing (either kindlegen or pandoc, at a guess).

(This really highlights the need to get away from Pandoc for EPUB generation; there's just not enough control.)
