Standardize on a naming scheme ("Book Title - First Name Last Name" is the default for Calibre) and import your ebooks to Calibre with the "read metadata" option disabled. It should recognize the book title and author name. Then, just do a batch conversion within Calibre (LRF and ePub are supported output formats) to get ebooks with metadata embedded.
