I've been using Calibre for at least a year now, probably more. I love it! It has made my ebook life so much better.

I'm having a problem now that I don't understand. I'm running 0.7.7 on a Vista machine [yeah, I know, so not my choice either]. Previously - lets say at least 6 or so updates ago that I know of, when I would edit metadata for corrections and send it to my Kindle the book would come over corrected, everything as it should be. I noticed lately tho', that even when I have everything correct in the file, I've removed the old file from my Kindle, and I send it over via "send to device" or "save to file" and move it over, the info remains unchanged on my Kindle [Kindle 1 btw]. The only way I am now able to push the metadata changes is to convert the file which is a real pain to have to do on every book. Also, the fonts don't always come out right and I can't read it because it's too small. Admittedly conversions are not my forte where fonts are concerned. Also, nothing has changed on my machine other than Calibre and any Vista updates.

Anyone with any ideas? I've lost a lot of enjoyment because of my frustration with this. Thanks in advance.
