I just side-loaded an epub on my Kindle. The author displayed as "unknown". Odd. I converted to mobi and side-loaded that. The author was stripped again.

I don't know if there's something particular about this file's author field Amazon/my device doesn't like, or if this a new wrinkle in Amazon trying to automatically replace the metadata of side-loaded documents. I'll experiment by trying to side-load additional books later today.

I assume I'll be able to solve this hardwiring my device to my PC and syncing it with my Calibre library, but it's still annoying. Has any one seen this bug?
