It seems like I should be able to change metadata for the books held on the device using Calibre, but I can't.

Sometimes when I transfer a "book" across the author or title contains an unknown character (Kanji?) that the device can't display. I've tried correcting the metadata and re-uploading but that's slow and unreliable; I tried to use Calibre but when I click on a book and press F2 as works when editing metadata for books on my laptop, nothing happens.

Anyone else have this problem?
