Amazon is definitely reading the file name to generate the tittle, although it must be also reading the metadata to generate the author.

However, this is something relatively new, since it started happening after the last Kindle software update, Version 5.15.1 – September 2022

An example:

Title of the book (shown in Calibre): ¿Qué hora es?

Calibre renames the file as: _Que hora es_

The file lands on the Kindle with the file name instead of the title in the metadata.

Anyway, I know it is not up to me to decide what changes to make on Calibre, but I would just like to kindly suggest the developers to have a look into it whenever they have a chance, considering that this issue must be affecting all non-English readers who use Kindle devices.
