Maintaining Filenames From Calibre to Kindle?

archz2 · 07-23-2023, 02:07 PM

When copying files in epub format from Calibre to Kindle through the email method, the filenames get shortened. Is there a way to retain the length of the filenames?

It's irrelevant unless it's jailbroken and you are using KOReader.
You should read the Calibre manual. You can setup a template as to how the ebooks are named, but it's pointless.

I use the send to kindle app on my pc and have not had this problem. I have my "save to disk" preferences set to only be the title and then I select any number of books in calibre and save to disk in a single folder and then drag and drop the epub files into send to kindle and they retain their full name. Its super fast and easy, I have not tried sending things by email before
