Let me make sure I've got this: Title/author etc. metadata is not encrypted and is not part of the DRM scheme for EPUB and MOBI and therefore you can change it without disturbing the DRM? (and the corollary is that the cover is part of the encrypted DRM book and therefore cannot be changed?)

Are you also saying that Calibre does this (updates this metadata for a Send or Save), but does not update covers?

Did I get that right?
