Hi,

this question might be silly but I can't figure it out...

I already have ebooks on my kindle, I never used Calibre before.
Now, I want to start to use Calibre and do some tidying (clean up some titles and authors name...), so I tried to add my Kindle ebooks to Calibre library.

Then I can edit the metadata, but when I try to update the ebook on the kindle, I'm ending up with 2 times the same book !

You might say: let's get rid of the old one and start with the one from calibre
but then I will lose all my annotations and reading positions if I delete the old one.

What am I missing ?
