I've just got my Paperwhite Kindle and I'm trying to add my books -- but with MetaData that is useful to me. I've followed the instructions to the letter and it works for two of the three books I've changed the title of, but one of them always reverts to the previous title. It's baffling.

Here's what I've done:

1. Connected my Kindle PW to my PC.
2. Loaded up Calibre (latest version).
3. Added the three books from my Kindle to my Calibre library.
4. Edited the titles.
5. Removed the books from the Kindle.
6. Added the books from my Calibre library.

I then eject my Kindle. At first, ALL of the books have their new title, but after 20 seconds (with me not doing anything) one of the books reverts to the long unwieldy title that I hate. I've done this three or four times, double-checking everything, and the same thing always happens:

I see the new (correct) title for about 20 seconds before it reverts to the old one.

I thought it may be Whispersync, so I cleared the furthest page read, and it still didn't make any difference.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
