I'd have to see a book to know for sure.

As to changing the metadata, calibre can't update the metadata or cover in a kepub. As I said before, it's knowledge of kepubs is fairly low.
Yes, Fnac gives me direct link on Kobo server to download ebooks I have bought. If book has DRM, I need to use Adobe Digital Editions to be able to read it. Otherwise, I import it with extension .kepub to Calibre. If I change the title, author, etc. in Calibre, this change is correctly reflected on the Kobo device when Calibre synchronises it (perhaps it is not updated inside the ebook, but at least in the Calibre and Kobo databases I believe).
