Hi there

When I download an updated book from amazon (eg. With a new cover) on my kindle calibre no longer shows it as having a “matching” book in my library (with a green tick), I assume because the metadata has changed. I know I can manually match each with a book in my library to make the teen tick appear. However I’d like to import the updated book/cover into calibre but keep my tags assigned to the previous version of the book in my library. Is there a way of doing this? Or is it best just to import and then manually do a merge for each duplicate copy? If so, which merge function do I use to make sure I keep the cover etc from the “new” version....

Thank you!
