You don't say what format you're using. I'll assume it's ePub.
Metadata will not be inserted into the ePub until you do one of the following.
- Use the Save to disk feature to export the book from calibre.
- Use the Send to device to export the book from calibre.
- Use the Connect to folder feature to export the book from calibre.
- Use the Content server to export the book from calibre.
The above 4 methods will insert the metadata into the book as the book leaves the confines of the calibre environment. The below 2 methods will update the book inside the calibre file structure.
- Use the modify ePub plugin to update the metadata in the book.
- Convert the file, epub to epub would work.
If you use calibre it is hard not to get the metadata to update, but if you don't use one of the above methods and just drag and drop the book from the folder using a file manager then all of the pretty metadata in the library view never gets the chance to be embedded in the book.
Good Luck.
