Thanks for the reply, before I could get my books in MOBI format, i would convert them from EPUB to MOBI and then upload them to my Yahoo account and email them that way. But a lot of formatting would disappear.

Now with the MOBI book, i can get all the formatting of the EPUB, except I can't figure out how to change the name that displays on the screen.

If you want to update the embedded metadata without doing a conversion use the Polish Books feature after changing the name in Calibre.

Thanks, I looked but I can't find the Polish Books feature. I'll do a google search to see if i can find it. But yes, I DO NOT want to do a conversion. The book is already in MOBI I just need to change the title. If I do a conversion, my pictures are not align right, links and stuff change colors, etc.

You can also use metadata-plugboards to do much fancier alterations of the title/author during the process of sending the book to the Kindle.

I only know how to convert and manually send the book to my Kindle through Yahoo mail. I use this method because I want to keep track of my notes.

If you could tell me how to Polish the book assuming this is fix the problem, I'd greatly appreciate it.
