I love Calibre. I love they way I can upload and store all my ebooks (epub) in Google Play and have my entire library available on my Samsung Galaxy SIII.

Sometimes I need to edit a book's metadata such as the title and/or cover. When I upload that book to Google Play, usually nothing has been changed. The "old" title and/or cover are displayed.

Why would this be the case? I thought "metadata" are the underlying, defining information so why would changes not be global? Apparently, I am only changing how books are displayed in the Calibre GUI and not actually modifying "metadata"? Is there something else to change to make the Calibre appearance global?

It's a minor annoyance and I'm simply curious. I still love the Calibre/Google Play arrangement.
