Well, yes, I do understand that. The unfortunate thing is the reason I make changes is do to my tablet reader - which does not use the opf file.

There are effectively two basic changes I make:

1st is to the author to make sure it is spelled correctly and in the correct format (FName LName) or (LName, Fname)
This is so all the book by the same author can be found together


2nd is the title (Series - # - Title)
This is so they can be sorted into reading order as opposed to alphabetical by title, which when you have 32 books in a series is impossible to remember which book is #7. So I rename them so I can sort them this way


Yes, I know, so more sophisticated readers can sort them by author, series, number, and title. But that is not what my family uses. And even if we did, I would still have to edit some books to correct them.
