I'm trying to figure out the proper workflow for getting changes to my Kindle2. I have browsed around the help forum and through this thread. However, I suspect the answer is already here somewhere, but I just overlooked it. Anyway, ...

Let's say I have a book in mobi format. It is in Calibre and already on my Kindle2 (using send to device).

Now I change the meta data. For example I might take author from "First Last" to "Last, First". At this point I assume that this changed meta data is not actually in the mobi book. Correct?

Step 1) would be to convert to mobi to get the data written to the book.

Now I need to get it to my Kindle. I don't see an automatic way to synch it. Nor do I see a way to send new books automatically, so I assume I have to do it manually.

Step 2) if the file name is the same, I assume if I send to device it will just overwrite the original book. Correct?

Step 2a) if the file name is different, I don't see a way to delete the old book from calibre. I assume this means I either delete it from the K2, or I browse to the K2 file folder using the OS and delete it. Correct?

Step 2b) after the old version is deleted, I send the new copy across.

If I go in and do a mass update of my metadata, I assume that I would just delete all of the Kindle2 books and reconvert them in Calibre, and resend them. Correct?

Thanks again,
Michael
