Updating metadata on books already uploaded to the PRS700

Kovid, I was wondering about updating the metadata for eBooks already uploaded to the PRS700. I'm talking about things like changing book covers, adding author information, or tags. When I try to do that now, I just get a new entry for the same book in the library/collection of my 700. The only way I've found to do it so far is to delete the entry on the 700, then upload the book again.

Is there a way to have Calibre just update the differences?

Thanks,
Dan Payment

Not yet, the 700 driver has to be re-written, when that's done this should be possible.
