I have a book on my desktop in .mobi format. I have tried putting this file onto my Kindle through Calibre, and the text looks good but the title and author do not show up in my library.

I imported it into Calibre and corrected the metadata, but everything still shows up as Unknown when I am in my Kindle.

Can someone tell me the exact process for doing this correctly, and getting the metadata to show up like it does when I download a book from the Kindle store? I have read many threads on here that detail using command-line and XP programs, I am on a Mac.

thanks!
