I have obviously missed something, and don't know what it is.
Most frustrating - 20 years as a 3rd Gen programmer (PL/1, Cobol etc) and this stuff is not clear to me - must be getting old!!
That is for changing the filesystem path that the book is saved at. If you want to change the title as displayed on the device (i.e. when trying to actually read a book) you will need to do as the link suggested and save this plugboard (not save path) under Preferences -> Metadata plugboards.
