MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Hidden metadata? Category mismatch between Calibre and iBooks on iPhone

IIRC, the metadata in the OPF file (where the genre comes from) is only updated if a tag is present or a plugboard transform has been applied. With no tags/plugboards, calibre makes no changes to the OPF file, so whatever metadata is the original source file remains intact.

(Assuming you're using 'Connect to iTunes' to send the file.)
