I'm afraid that's just how it is when you email docs to your Kindle. All you can do is change it manually afterwards as far as I know.
If anyone has some suggestions I'd be happy to hear them too. |

Use calibre to edit the metadata.

I know that I used to have a huge problem with this when I was using Amazon to convert my personal documents. I'd email a document to the free kindle address, get a file back, have to correct the metadata and then move it over to the Kindle via USB.
Now I email them to my K3 from Calibre over the WiFi and they show up correctly but I'm not sure why? To tell you the truth I'd forgotten that I used to have that problem. Is it because I'm emailing a mobi file and it doesn't have to be converted? |

I use Calibre... was just hoping for this short cut ability for this little issue. Ü Calibre it is though it looks like!
Thanks for all the input! Nancy |
