What theducks is suggesting, is to create a new Calibre library, use Calibre functions to copy the books to that library and then give the library to your partner. Then, he opens that library with Calibre and uses Calibre to copy the books from that library to his library. That should work well if you are giving him a lot of books.

An alternative is to do a conversion in Calibre to the same format and that will update the metadata. This will work well for one or two books and as long they don't have DRM.
