(the) Workaround (is) working!
Thanks to comment poster "Smokescreen" for this tip:
You can download a sample of nearly all books from amazon directly (btw, anybody know any that dont have a sample?)
Now, just do some renaming , and boo ya, no more weird names and stuff like that.
Also, you can remove the sample banner (or replace it with haxed or something stupid) by using xterm and entering the following two commands
rm /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.kindle/images/item-sample-banner.png
rm /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.kindle/images/item-sample-banner-small.png
Currently working on a python script to rename the files automatically.

Think there might be a typo in your post, should be .png files.
Based on your suggestion, I've posted my process over at PreCentral
