I have six issues of the economist (downloaded using a recipe) that I was trying to transfer to the Kindle 3. They are in MOBI format, and I changed the "Published Date" on each one of those to be the correct one for the issue.

I plugged in my Kindle to my PC, selected all issues and did "Send to device main memory". Only one issue remains on the device, even though the job log indicates that six issues are getting transferred.

What is happening, and I can't figure out why, is that the issue gets transferred to the Kindle with the following filename: "Economist, The_2011-3-25.mobi", in other words, the file is getting named w/ today's date appended to it, rather than the Published Date which is what I want. So, I believe the issues are overwriting each other.

I went to poke around in the Preferences, and I can't seem to find how to change this behavior.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.
