Expounding on @pheon 's answer, I created this shell script

#!/bin/bash

exiftool="/usr/local/bin/exiftool"

filename=$(basename "")
extension="${filename##*.}"
filename="${filename%.*}"
directory=$(dirname "")
newfilename=`${exiftool} -T -Title `

echo mv "" "${directory}/${newfilename}.${extension}"
mv "" "${directory}/${newfilename}.${extension}"

Just run the script, passing the pub filename and it will rename it in-place to be the title of the eBook. Note that it is likely there will be spaces in the filename.
