I find it difficult to believe this is intentional on Amazon's side. They offer a Send to Kindle email service where they officially accept EPUBs. Are they going to ask people to start writing down the title and author in the email message along with the attachment to get the correct display?
If today you go and download an EPUB from gutenberg.org and send it to your Kindle email address. You'll have no idea what book you're looking at in your library view. It'll say something like "pg21351 by Unknown". You'll have to tap and open it to discover what the book is.
This wasn't a problem two weeks ago.
We wrote a blog post about this and how it's affecting Push to Kindle users here:
