You can get rid of them, though: Calibre has a feature called 'Polish Books' which will, among other things, strip them out, leaving only the tags you have assigned in Tags. So, step by stem:

I consider it as a bug of Marvin. It is not a calibre bug. Apparently Marvin does not understand the tag information as embedded in the OPDS XML generated by Calibre Content Server, and chooses to show the tags embedded in EPUB books instead. I think the metadata of an OPDS entry should override those embedded in the book itself.

Another popular ebook reader app, MapleRead (used to be called BookMaster), used to have a similar problem. It was fixed almost exactly one year ago in v1.2. See

For me, getting the bug fix from the app developer is a much better solution than hacking my calibre library reluctantly.
