The last time I checked there were three or four ways to embed the metadata into a book. Keep in mind not all formats can embed all or any metadata.
- Convert the book. Epub-epub or Mobi to Mobi will always embed the metadata.
- Save to disk feature embeds the metadata while exporting the book to disk.
- Send to device will embed the metadata while exporting the book to the device.
- I also believe metadata now gets updated when emailing the book too.
There have been occasions when a particular book seemed stubborn, i.e. sending a book to a Kindle didn't update the title. When this happens doing a mobi to mobi conversion will fix it.

That's a great question, I couldn't find an existing way. Let's hope someone else drops by with a definitive answer.
