Hi: I'm having a good time with Calibre; it's feature-rich and if there are bugs I haven't found them yet.

Questions:
1. Can Calibre change the metadata (author, title, etc.) in the original ebook file (Word, PDF, epub, etc.)?

2. Can I create a catalog that contains all the medata for my ebooks without re-creating the books themselves?

I have a feeling that I can't be the first person to ask these questions, but I've tried looking at the FAQs, read a few of the pages of the "Catalogue" sticky, and tried a few key-word searches without success. If these questions have been answered, please feel free to scold, but please point me to the relevant thread(s). Thanks.
