Yes, ebook renaming involves modifying the filename of an ebook file to better reflect its contents. Software tools and library management applications typically use metadata embedded within the ebook file (like author name, title, series information) to automatically generate and apply a standardized filename pattern. This differs from manual renaming as it ensures consistency and leverages existing data rather than user input.

For instance, tools like Calibre allow users to set rules such as {author_sort}/{title} to organize files automatically into folders by author and clearly name them. Operating system features like Windows Explorer batch renaming or MacOS Finder renaming can be used manually when selecting multiple files and adding author/title information to each filename, often done for a small batch of files lacking good metadata.

Standardized naming greatly improves file organization and searching within folders. However, its effectiveness relies completely on the accuracy and completeness of the ebook's embedded metadata; incomplete or incorrect metadata leads to poor renaming. While immensely useful for personal libraries, consistent naming can be challenging for publishers and distributors due to varied naming conventions across sources. Ethical issues like renaming pirated copies are generally avoided.
