I'm not sure Amazon is at fault in this case. The problem is that publishers control the content of ebooks, including the metadata.

I think this is why mobi2mobi (say) can easily update the metadata in a MOBI, but MobiPocket puts any user-generated changes in the .mbp file (which is often over written, and typically isn't transferable between devices).
