I'm bumping this thread because I'm having the same kind of issue but haven't seen a good resolution.

Here's the deal: I have a few hundred epub format documents and I'd like to "regularize" the meta info (make author names consistent and add cover pictures). But I'm finding that I seem to need to run an epub-to-epub conversion to update the meta info in each .epub file. This seems rather inefficient and also takes a long time (some files take 30+ minutes).

Is there a way to do this better / faster in calibre? Simply saving to disk doesn't do the job.

Thanks!

Craig
