If you change the cover in calibre, that cover is not automatically put into the books.

Emphasis mine. So, this tells me I've missed something in Calibre that I should know how to do: "polish". I know about re-converting, and I've resorted to it when I had to, but I don't think I've ever seen anything about polishing a book. I'd love to find a solution that allows me to not have to reconvert to fix a books metadata, cover, etc., in the book.
