How Can I Change the Title of A Kindle Book So It Shows up in the Kindle App?

jcarruth · 01-14-2017, 04:48 PM

After learning how to remove the DRM from my Kindle books so I don't have to be limited by the amount of times I can copy and paste passages when making my own personal study notes, I reimport the altered version into my Kindle App for Mac, but it shows up with the exact same title as the rights managed version.

I'd like to be able to give it my own title, something like "Book Title DRM Removed." As is stands now, the new and old version appear in my Kindle app bearing the exact same titles side by side, and it's hard for me to tell which one is DRM removed, and which is not. Re-titling the DRM removed version would solve this issue for me.

I've tried changing the title in Calibre, exporting it as a mobi file instead of an azw, and nothing seems to work. Is there a way to do this?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
jcarruth

The plugboard can insert additional stuff into the INTERNAL metadata.

I prefix the title with {series_index}'

All you need to do is figure out what to use

on that book
