You can use the Embed Metadata tool (or Polish books) to update the metadata in the in-library copies. Note that that will not take plugboards into account.
Yes, I used the Calibre "Send to Device" to copy the files.

I have tried deleting the 3 files, doing a "Scan" (after which the books are not listed) then copying to device and doing another scan - they appear but with old metadata!

I must be doing something stupidly wrong!!!!

When you say to use "Embed Metadata tool (or Polish books)".....are these in Calibre or Cool Reader or something else?

What I really want is to get Cool Reader to forget all about its metadata and do a Scan to start again from scratch.

If I remove and re-install Cool Reader I am guessing I will lose information about which books I've marked as "finished"
