I'll try again.

calibre can recreate a book in two ways.
  1. An in-place update of the metadata fields.
  2. Converting the book back to the same format.

#1 has varying levels of support. Most formats, for instance, do not suppport covers.

#2 always works. It takes the book contents, and sticks it in a brand-new book created with ALL the right metadata. This also does other, invasive changes, like CSS flattening (for formats that support CSS ).
