Um, yes, that's how it works. The functions in the plugin are separate from the driver. And its the point of the plugin. There are things that the driver can't do, or are out of scope for the driver. I do intend to add metadata updating to the driver, but it won't be as flexible as the plugin. It will be a straight update from the library metadata using a plugboard if you have one configured. This is what happens when you send a book to the device.

Most of the functions of the plugin are manual. You select the books you want to act on and then select the function. The metadata update is one of the manual functions.
