It was my understanding that there is a way to edit metadata of files that are on the Kindle, but I can't figure out how to do it.

I have the 0.7.19 version of Calibre, and a new wi-fi 3G Kindle. I attach the Kindle to the computer, open Calibre and tell it to display the Kindle contents. So far, so good.

If I hover the mouse over a title, a little balloon says "Double click to edit me." Double clicking does nothing. If I select a title, I can't open the Edit Metadata window - it's grayed out.

What am I doing wrong?
