But thanks for this - taking an ePub, changing file extension to .txt, right click and Send to Kindle, correcting title and author in the app before sending - I get everything I want: correct title & author, bolding (advanced text features) works, the cover shows up (I'm on a newer Paperwhite), and it syncs across devices. Thanks!
if you use the Send to Kindle for computers, you can drag multiple files at once. As long as they are from the same author, you can do batch sends.

You can re-convert the epub in calibre or use the Modify ePub plugin to encode the book in UTF-8. If there's no utf-8 indication inside the book, Amazon will convert punctation marks into symbols.
