I have a Kindle2 and use Calibre to change the meta data on mobi (.prc) files by
1. copying the contents of my Kindle memory to my Calibre Library directory on my PC.
2. importing the Library directories contents into Calibre
3. editing the meta information that I wanted to change such as titles, author names, sort orders, etc.
4. converting the ebooks whose meta information I edited from mobi to mobi
5. deleting the books from my kindle memory whose meta information I want to update
6. selecting in Calibre the ebooks whose meta information I edited and then sending them to Kindle memory

Sometimes the meta information will update on the kindle without doing step 4. but about half the time it won't so I always do it and now have 100% success editing my meta information. This has made my Kindle 100% more enjoyable and I have the say the more I use Calibre the more I like it. Thanks for the hard work making it available Kovid.
