I spent a while the other night downloading a lot of my purchases from Amazon to organize with Calibre - specifically I wanted series of books to be ordered by their series, not by their titles.

It took a lot of time and experimenting to figure out exactly how to make it work like I wanted, but eventually I got it all done and everything was organized just how I wanted it.

Imagine my surprise when I flipped back to the Kindle homepage today after finishing a book to find most (but not all) of the series in title order again! These books definitely all had the new titles starting with the series name straight from Calibre a few days ago, but now about 75% of them have reverted back to the titles from Amazon.

And when I plugged the Kindle into my computer, the .azw3 files organized nicely by Calibre were also gone, each of the books with reverted titles have .kfx files in the root documents directory instead.

I did notice this happening to a few books even the night I organized it all, but it was only for a couple of books, so I thought that I'd simply forgotten to remove the version of the book already on my Kindle before transferring the new ones. Now I'm thinking that the Kindle reverted their titles before I even had a chance to check on them. And I checked every single book I transferred from Calibre - when I was finished, every single one of these books had the new title that started with the series.

Has anyone else seen this happen before? What can I do?

I assume that disconnecting my Kindle from the internet would likely keep this from happening, but that would be my last resort, because I still want to be able to browse the Kindle store and have purchases from Amazon automatically sent to the device.
