I was only using that as an example of what I'm trying to do, since you can update Covers from the books via both the individual and bulk dialogs, as I strove to indicate in my post. I promise I'm not ignorant of the implications of what I wrote.
Indeed, my confusion stems from the fact that I can do Covers but not Metadata in bulk, but
both individually, thus:

Then I'm confused, or perhaps being confusing. Please bear with me? Let me walk through my thoughts in a bit more detail:
You can update both cover and metadata as one-click actions in the Edit metadata->Edit metadata individually dialog (in the upper-right corner, as I noted). This is how I've been doing it to-date, and I know it works. If you doubt my actions, I can write them out in detail, so there's no further confusion.
So why can you update only covers via the Bulk dialog? And if you can get metadata updated directly from your books (as opposed to using the various Amazon/etc. searches) in a Bulk process, how does one do so?
Hopefully that helps clarify my questions.
