Hi there !
I don't understand why all titles of my PDF files are formatted as following on my Kindle Paperwhite : #First-name #Last-name - #Title I just would like to have : #Title ..as the author name is already displayed below the title and it's harder to find a book starting by a first name. For instance, for a random book, file is saved as following in Calibre database : Astrologie azteque simplifiee - Luis Huerta.pdf --> I checked metadata, all fields are well filled in On the Kindle, file is renamed as following (Title and Author have been inverted) : Luis Huerta - Astrologie azteque simplifiee.pdf --> I checked again metadata, everything is fine So in my understanding, it seems that metadata are not taken in count, title of the PDF is displayed based on PDF file name... ![]() Any help on this matter would be really appreciated ! Thanks ! Last edited by Didooou; 01-07-2024 at 10:03 AM. |

If the Kindle is not reading metadata from inside the PDF file its likely a bug in the firmware you should report it to amazon. Although given Amazon's track record, its likely a deliberate bug they introduced to make side loading less attractive.
