I'll forgive you, Calibre, even if it is your fault
I really like Calibre, the open-source elibrary and ereader manager. I wrote a post not long ago extolling Calibre’s virtues as my new go-to ereader software after I gave up on Sony’s official program.
One of the things I liked was being able to edit the metadata of books, such as the author’s name that shows up in my Reader’s library. It’s a great feature for when you get a book from Gutenberg or elsewhere, you convert it to a different format and your name becomes the author’s. Or the file title itself is in weird_annoyin_forma3212. This is also easy to do and intuitive (you just double-click on the title or author that you want to change).
The problem is that it doesn’t appear to be permanent. A few times since I renamed my problem books, they’ve spontaneously regrown their old names, which is weird.
I have yet to replicate the problem in a control setting, and so I can’t pin down the culprit (I really want to blame you, Sony eBook Library, but I can’t just yet).
More news as I figure it out.
