convert epub books

How do I convert a titled epub

Michela Piazza, Pamela Boiocchi - Damned Texan Boss (2021)

And get

Michela Piazza, Pamela Boiocchi - Damn Texan Boss (2021) instead of

Michela Piazza, Pamela Boiocchi - Michela Piazza

Another example

Angela Thorner - A Millionaire Love Contract (2021)
converted
Angela Thorner - A Contract D - Angela Thorner

Thank you

Those are filenames, not conversions.

Exactly what is it you are doing?

Try to fix the books' metadata first.

done

insert epub
metadata
Alessia D'Ambrosio - After Match 2 - Number 9
then I do convert books into mobi

I would like the title after the conversion to remain the same as the original I gave it with the metadata and not
Alessia D'Ambrosio - After Matc - Alessia D'Ambrosio

example
insert epub metadata
J. Sterling - The perfect game 1 - La partita perfetta
J. Sterling - The perfect game 2 - La svolta di gioco
J. Sterling - The perfect game 3 - La partita più dolce (2021)

convert to mobi result 3 mobi with the same title
J. Sterling - The perfect game - J. Sterling
J. Sterling - The perfect game - J. Sterling
J. Sterling - The perfect game - J. Sterling

Are you converting the books to mobi in the calibre library or are you saving them to disk or sending them to your Kindle ereader?

As far as I know, the calibre library files will never show the series/series index as part of the filename since that should be stored in the metadata for the library. When you save to disk or send to device, there are templates to control the output filenames.

I've attached an image of what I see in my calibre library and in the library folders when I converted epub to mobi. I've also attached an image for the save to disk template and the send to device template (the one in the device driver which overrides the default template when connected to a Kobo device).

When I did a save to disk using the following template: {author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)}/{title}/{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)} - {series:| |}{series_index:0>5.2f| | - }{title} (use the first entry in author sort for the subdirectory, then the book title as a subdirectory and then the first entry in the author sort - series_seriesindex - title, I see the following books in those directories.

Sterling, J. - The Perfect Game 01.00 - La partita perfetta.mobi
Sterling, J. - The Perfect Game 02.00 - La svolta di gioco.mobi
Sterling, J. - The Perfect Game 03.00 - La partita piu dolce.mobi

Basically, either your save to disk or send to device template is garbage or your metadata is garbage.
