How To Change a Document Name on Kindle

While the Kindle e-reader and the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com let you keep track of your Kindle documents and books, it does not let you make changes to the document itself. The document's title, any tags and other information about the document is known as its metadata, and while you cannot change the metadata directly on the Kindle, you can use one of three free products: Calibre, Alfa EBook Editor or EPUB Metadata Editor, to make changes to the document name or title, and then manually replace it in the Kindle.

4. Browse to the document you want to rename, click on it and then click "OK" to add it to your Calibre library.
