Thanks again. I'm trying it, but I'm still confused as to the easiest procedure. Here is why:

Say that I only have a book on Kindle, not in Calibre library. I can't edit metadata/cover directly on Kindle (as far as I can tell). So I add this book to Calibre library, then change the cover/metadata. But by doing that, Calibre changes the file name.

Now, what's an efficient name of resending the book to Kindle so that it replaces the old file and thus preserves the notes and bookmarks?

I will need to do this for quite a few books to that already reside on Kindle, but have titles/authors/covers messed up or missing... Is there a way of automating it somehow?

Cheers and thanks again!
