You can revert to the metadata in the book itself by using the Edit Metadata dialog (the Read Cover from File and Read Metadata from File buttons).

Many thanks for your reply!
I am right in thinking then that when I send eBooks to my Sony Reader, for instance, the metadata of the books themselves are changed, but Calibre still keeps the original file intact (instead still storing metadata in its database file)?
I mainly work with EPUBs, by the way.
