Thanks, I realize it's something from metadata, but it doesn't show that way in the library's metadata, and I have no added plugins, just the standard ones.

The standard format I use is epub. When I transferred a book to the Kindle, it created a mobi format. I opened both of those formats in calibre, and checked the metadata using the info icon, and there was no slash. But on the Kindle, it has a slash.

I just started up the content server, and downloaded a book to my phone. I noticed it showed up in the file manager with a leading underscore, but in Moon+ reader, it had a leading slash.

Next, I went into Calibre, and chose "Test Server", which connects to the library using a browser (Firefox). I clicked on a book, and got the book information page. I then clicked on "Get", and it shows an open dialog, with the name of the file showing a leading underscore. However, looking at the actual files on my hard disk, there is no leading underscore for any filenames.

So, it seems to be something to do with the content server, and whatever is used for transferring files to the Kindle. Are they related?
