I thought we were supposed to be able to update meta data or info involving our books after they were on our device. Or did I read that wrong? I did some searching here on the forums and can't find the answer I'm looking for.

I have some books on my Kindle and they are in a series. Because Kindle now allows for "Collections" I like to keep them together but often get confused with books that are in a series. I have begun to put [1], [2], etc in the title to help me. I wanted to add those numbers on some of the books I already have loaded on my Kindle, but changes aren't coming up.

Preferences > Add/Save > Sending to Device

I put Meta Data management to automatic.

When I have my Kindle connected and browse through the books on it, the tool tip pops up and says "Double click to edit" but it doesn't do anything at all.

Is this a bug, am I misunderstanding something, or do I just have to resend the file?
