why do you add empty books and not add the actual book . it is v easy with correct plug in. then you have all your books in one database

I download new freebies to Kindle for PC then open that folder, sort it by date & drag the new books ( recognisable by date) into calibre main window. calibre does it[s best to sort out author & title but if it flips them or screws up I just use edit medadata/ download metadata to patch up.

keep the kindle books directory pretty empty ( i.ew. leave them mostly on amazon server) then it is easy to see what's what in that folder. use date + file type & dow't worry about the silly files names. calibre will find the embedded metadata.

a side benefit is that books are now DRM free so if you change kindle or wish to convert to epub ...
