Calibre and the ereaders will get the name and title from the book's metadata unless the creator doesn't know what they're doing and doesn't include it (Packt Publishing, for example). If Telemachus is just copying .txt files, or .html files over to his ereader, there's no metadata available. I haven't downloaded the DVDs, but if they don't include the .epub and .mobi formats (and I'd be surprised if a DVD from PG from 2010 or earlier does), I think he should strongly consider attempting to get either .mobi or .epub versions of the books he wants from Project Gutenberg.
