Kindle: Rename e-books - how it works
If you rename your e-books on Kindle, you can sort books more easily. This is particularly advantageous for multi-part volumes. Read how to do this in this article.
Rename eBooks on Kindle
To rename your e-books, you have to use external software: Caliber, a kind of iTunes for e-books, helps you with e-book management.
- Start Caliber and connect your Kindle to your computer via USB. Then click on "Device" in the Caliber toolbar.
- The tool lists all the books on your Kindle. Check those whose titles you want to change. Right-click on one of these entries and select the "Add books to library" command.
- How to copy the books to your hard drive, where you can change their metadata. For this purpose, the "library" lists all the books saved on the hard disk. To rename, select the desired entry and click on "Edit metadata". You define the book title in the "Title" field.
- With "Transfer to Reader" you can send the renamed book back to Kindle. Caliber does not replace the original book, but creates a copy.
- You can therefore now delete the originally provided title from your device. It remains in the Amazon cloud.
In this practical tip, you can read how you can now sort the renamed books on Kindle.
