Now I only get Title and author.

Can you help me with this?

Don't use the send to email function by Calibre. Amazon keeps changing the way they read the metadata from books.

It used to work before because Amazon would directly read the metadata from the book and put it as the title of the document. But now they just base it off the Subject line of the email, which Calibre only puts as 'title-author'.

What I do now is I use the save to disk function (only exporting epubs) and then using their new webpage to send the books.
