I'm not sure what you mean by "does not capture ebook metadata". The KA1 reads the metadata from the content.opf file which internal to the epub. If that file does not have any metadata, the KA1 has nothing to display. BTW, one of reasons I use calibre to manage my library is that it makes it a lot easier to download better cover images and metadata for insertion into the epub before sending it to an ereader. It took a while to do the initial updates but updating any new epubs I add is relatively painless. Being able to see the updated cover, metadata and series info on my KA1 makes it worthwhile.

The only other way I can read your statement is that you were hoping that your KA1 would somehow connect to the Internet and locate your missing metadata.
