I don't own a Sony and thus don't know how Calibre interacts with them, but I'd advise you to additionally post what setting you selected for your metadata management (found in preferences->send to device). That'll help others find out what the problem is.

The FAQ says, that calibre can write metadata to pdf. Unfortunately it doesn't write the metadata into the pdf.

Neither in Linux nor in Windows am I able to force my carefully edited Titles/Authors from calibre into the pdf.
=> is there an option which does: "write all metadata of the selected books as they are in calibre into the pdf/epub"?
Calibre writes the metadata to the file
  • when the book is being saved to disk
  • when the book is being sent to a device
  • when the file is converted
  • when the book is downloaded via the content server
That said, not all formats support all metadata fields. Also, PDF seems to be somewhat difficult regarding metadata. If possible, try another format supported by your reader.
