ereaders read the ebooks metadata, so you need to ensure the title of the book reflects the filename of the ebook you have renamed, plus add any other information such as author, series, ISBN, synopsis and cover etc. My original Kobo is no exception to that, displaying the ebook metadata title and not the filename.

I always edit a freshly added ebook's metadata in Calibre before adding that ebook to my ereader.

Calibre has excellent tools in order to harvest metadata from a multitude of online sources, given that correct ISBN, title and author are provided to assist the search.

I do not bother with what Calibre does behind the interface. The way it handles my library and displays that library are more important.
