Example: bookname.epub > bookname.txt

I usually use the Send-to-Kindle app because then you can input the title and author. If you email it to your Kindle, the title will be the filename and the author will be your email address.
Hey thanks! I tried that too and it worked (retains hyphens). However, I must say that I prefer to send the books via Send to Kindle as I can enter author and title there. That should speed everything up even more...

Edit:
I think I found out something cool: you can drag an “epub renamed txt” file onto the Send to Kindle app, enter title and author and the resulting azw3 will be named correctly on the device...
