Book shows up as tmp_xxxxx.....fixed.tidied

FF2 · 11-16-2010, 01:11 PM

The book is Boomerang which I got for free (not at home with records but possibly smashbooks).

I would like it to show up as BOOMERANG but cannot seem to figure out how to rename it. I tried editing its metadata using Calibre but with no success.

The book appears to open correctly on my k3 but the name is useless. Those x's and dots are quite a long string of numbers and letters.

Thanks for any assistance.

You changed the metadata in Calibre?

Then "converted" it again?

Hmm. Since it was mobi, I just OKAYED the change in metadata but did not reconvert it. I guess I did not realize that step was required.

Thanks for the reply.
