How do you get books from calibre to your device?

The FAQ says, that calibre can write metadata to pdf. Unfortunately it doesn't write the metadata into the pdf. Neither in Linux nor in Windows am I able to force my carefully edited Titles/Authors from calibre into the pdf.

First, I believe some types of PDF files don't seem to accept changes using calibre's metadata writer. However most PDF files can be updated.
Do you have the pdf metadata writer plugin enabled?

Update: I see you already answered this question.
Yes. Do you only use calibre to manage your books on your device? Do you have metadata management set to Automatic management (see attached). Also if you set this to automatic examine the Sony Device interface plugin to see what you can customize (see attached).

The Linux is a sticking point but it is free to use in Windows. But 100s of thousands of Sony users use calibre without your problems so there is hope that we will be able to help you out.
Hopefully someone with further insight or the right questions can clear things up.
