People want the covers and the jackets in the book to be correct so they see latest info in their reading app, and resending the book on metadata change has the chance of doing that.
What are your concerns about the second part being a good idea?

Count me in with the people who want the book resent if the metadata changes. I have been e-reading for about 15 years, and I have never once updated a book's content. Covers and other metadata all the time, but I figure the original author's did a better job with the content then I ever could.

Having said that, why would you split this into two options? Couldn't you just have one update command if the metadata or the book has changed?
