Ok that's much better. I have a question. I have been modifying the titles to the books with the series, index and title, so that when they convert the .mobi file uploads to Amazon with that title being set. The only problem is that as soon as I upload it, I reset the title to the original version so that my library isn't messed up. I kick the converted books to their own library.

I created a second title column. If I template that formula to fill that second title, and leave the actual title alone, is it possible to convert the book and have that second title be the real title?

I am desperate for a way to keep the original titles, but have Amazon see the books in the formulas above.

I do have a small standalone .exe .mobi file editor that I can use to change the title after conversion. It's just a hassle to do it. I think I got it from Github
