Regardless, all books are still in the metadata file so it won't need to rescan them.

Also, calibre matches based on title/author matching. Not id. (Much more robust that way.)

In fact,
Code:
$ grep -F '"id"' /media/Kindle/metadata.calibre
$ grep -F '"uuid"' /media/Kindle/metadata.calibre
    "uuid" : "<uuid>"

$
Because id isn't even stored there. I am not entirely sure what the UUID does, although I think the Annotations plugin makes use of it. It certainly isn't used for matching.
