I use Calibre to manage my ebook library, and usually add documents to my Amazon cloud using the Send to Kindle Application on my MacBook. Up until last night, the Send to Kindle app always recognized the title and author of the book based on the metadata I had entered for it on Calibre.

However, last night I was prompted to update the app. (I think that immediately before I updated, the metadata was recognized, but I'm not certain.) After updating, the title prompt on the App was just the raw file name. The author prompt was the last Author I had typed in manually, rather than relying on the metadata on Calibre. (I know the app had recognized the proper author for other books since I had done this manual edit.)

Here's a hypothetical illustration of what the App used to recognize:

Title: Great Expectations
Author: Dickens, Charles

And here's a hypothetical of how it works now:

Title: Great Expectations - Charles Dickens
Author: Twain, Mark (or whatever I had typed in last)

This is particularly a pain because I use my old lap top to manage my ebooks, and several of the keys have stopped working. So it's a particular hassle having to manually edit each submission I want to make.

There seem to be no options on the app that fix the problem and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I've encountered the same problem. I thought it was just me
