Books sent to Amazon show with my email as ther author
Hi there,

Not sure if this is a change in Calibre or in Amazon's personal documents system but lately I've noticed that any books I email into my Amazon account are showing with my email address in the Author field in the Manage Your Content And Devices webpage. Previously these showed the actual book author.

Is there a way I can revert this? I have tried updating t the latest Calibre version, and also updating the boks metadata but there is no change.

This is Amazon's doing. The most you can do is complain to Kindle Customer Service.

Ok, thanks for the info. Have they announced this as a change anywhere, or do we think its a bug?

Complain to Amazon and for now use the USB cable with Calibre. It will also charge the gadget. Except for some stranger Android things.

Sure, I'll ask them but thought you folks might already be in the know if this was an intentional change

Is anyone else here able to confirm if they are seeing the same thing? Anyone willing to email themselves a book quickly to test it?

It is unknown whether or not it is a bug or intentional. There have been multiple threads started about this issue:

Send to Kindle won't send author name from metadata

Sideloaded ebook has my email as author

When sending book by mail, mail leaves as author
