So basicaly, if I import .pdb files, it is better to convert them to another format an open the new one (for example mobi).

If I backup the Calibre library folder, I will still have the wrong names which were created while importing books...

Thanks again, now I can start with importing and moving books to Kindle
If you change (correct) the Author or Title in the Metadata-Editor, Calibre will move the book internally to the new name.
That said, Why worry? The book file could be 12345.epub, Calibre manages the retrieval for you without you needing the filename or location.
