The Wiki Page on this site that describes this process ( https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...oks_on_Windows ) does so very clearly and in great detail. Basically, you control which metadata entries are touched and which are not. It is my understanding and experience that the meat of the file - the data - remains unchanged.

There is one file afterward. I do not know if you need to re-import it into Calibre. That's a Calibre question (whether Calibre re-reads metadata on restart or relies on what's already in the database).

You update to enter the ASIN into the appropriate EXTH entry, click to update, enter EBOK into the appropriate EXTH entry, click to update, and you can see right then whether it "took." Everything else remains untouched.

I have never NOT had the process keep last page read updated among Kindle Fire, Kindle for Android and K4PC. It has been flawless.
