@gteague - the Embed metadata tool can 'inject' metadata into formats other than EPUB and AZW3. You'll probably need to add it to a toolbar or menu, or give it a keyboard shortcut. I know it works on PDF and DOCX, but I don't know about MOBI.

To get a better idea of how calibre 'works' have a look at the Video Tutorials. Ordinarily, I don't like video tutorials (loathe them in fact), however the videos that Kovid has made for calibre are a rare exception.

I assume you're talking about embedding so-called 'book jackets'. They work for me on EPUBs (Polish and Modify) and AZW3 (Polish), they're placed immediately after the cover. I don't how to shoehorn them into a MOBI.
