Amazon "Send to Kindle" bug causing mismatches: include file names in matches as well? #32

Hi! I love this plugin, thank you so much for making it!

Unfortunately, for the last year, Amazon's "Send to Kindle" functionality has been incorrectly naming files it sends to the device. Specifically, the book name becomes the file name, so:

  • The book name becomes {title} - {author}
  • Colons get turned to underscores
  • Probably some other things get turned into underscores

As far as I can tell, Amazon doesn't seem ready to fix this. On its own this issue isn't a big deal: it means that book titles look a bit messed up in the library.

But this also means that the Annotations plugin considers everything imported since then a mismatch.

Calibre does let you manually match books in the library, but Annotations does not seem to include that info.

Would it be possible to make it so that the book name matching accepts {title} - {author}-style book titles (with stuff replaced with underscores)? Perhaps as a toggleable preference, perhaps only for Kindle.

Thanks!
