This issue seems to be cropping up again.
I've just sent eight books via Calibre to my Kindle address. On Amazon (Digital Content - Docs), 5 are correctly showing with title & author fields correct; 3 show as "Title - Author Name" in the title field & author field shows "Unknown". I've converted to & from Mobi to Epub a couple of times, which made no difference to the display in Amazon.
Then I converted the 3 books to rtf files, which I saved outside Calibre & used Word to change the Author property from the correct author to my name. I deleted the books within Calibre.
Then I imported the bare rtf files to Calibre as completely new books, replaced my name (which came up automatically as the author) with the correct author names. I converted the 3 books to Mobi then from Mobi to Epub & sent them off to the Kindle address again. Only one showed up with the correct title & author, the other 2 persist in showing the combined title/correct author info in the title field, with Unknown for the Author.
I am baffled.
FYI, the title / author field are correcting populating on my Kindle; I sideload books directly on to the Kindle (don't download them from AZ); sending books to AZ is just a storage precaution, so the stakes on this point are low.
