Rename Book title/Author?
I have a Kobo Libra and some of my side-loaded books had messed-up Titles and Authors. I can't see a way to edit them on the device itself even though I have KoReader and Plato installed. Is there any way to do this on the device itself?

Thank you. Calibre has an awful GUI which breaks all Apple's guidelines and conventions as far as I can see. That makes it a monumental pain to use. But I guess I'll try.

If the file name is the issue, you can rename the file in the KOReader File Browser. Just long press on the file listing.

I suspect the issue lies in the metadata, though, not the filename .

For the metadata, for epubs, it probably depends on if there is a metadata.epub.lua file in its .sdr folder. You would have to be motivated enough to make changes to that using your PC/Mac. It could be a way to address the issue for those who don't want to use calibre.
