Knocka, I don't think you can use Calibre to convert AZW files to other formats because of DRM, but someone else can correct me if I'm wrong. Otherwise you're stuck with bad metadata on those.

What *I* use Calibre for is for other books. Let's say you download a non-DRM LIT file or PRC/MOBI file with bad metadata. What you can do is drags those files into Calibre; it will make a copy of them in it's own database. Then you can edit the metadata for those books how you want. Then *convert* each book from whatever format into MOBI format. Finally, connect your Kindle 2 via USB, wait for Calibre to load up the list of books on it (this can take a few minutes), then click those books you converted to MOBI and select "Send to Device" and the MOBI files you converted, with updated metadata, should be transferred to the Kindle. After the job completes, unplug your Kindle and enjoy!
