A friend of mine has been going through her elibrary and updating/adding covers to quite a few books. After downloading the covers in Calibre, she opens the ebook with an external program and adds the new cover. At times, this has added 600Kbytes+ to the file size. However, Calibre happily shows the file size when the ebook was originally added to the Calibre library. She spent a while searching for an easy method of updating the ebook details and couldn't find one. So she asked me if there was an easy way to update that information. I have to admit I've never been bothered by that issue so didn't know. I checked a bit but seem to have missed how to refresh the book details.

Any advice?
