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?
The method outlined maybe doing it the hard way:
Polish or the Modify EPUB PI can refresh the book from within Calibre using the Image and details that you see.

As to the new filesize, Quality Check (PI): Fix filesize will scan your library and update the DB (this value is the Largest VERSION it finds)
