Hello,

I added a book to my kindle that has a colon in the title;' when I added it to my Kindle, the title turned the colon into an underscore. "The Irish Americans: A History" become "The Irish Americans_ A History."

Is there any way to use Calibre to change this so that it correctly displays the colon in the title? I tried going in to edit the metadata but I wasn't successful in making it display correctly on my Kindle. It's bothering me a lot for some reason. I know it's possible because I have other books with colons in the title that display correctly.

Thanks!
