I have a book with modified metadata/cover. When I use CC to add that book to my Android phone, I see the modified metadata and cover on my phone when browsing with CC. I have CC put the book into a directory called "ebooks", which is where my ebook reader, Moonreader+, looks for its books.
When I open the book in Moonreader, I don't see the modified metadata or cover. It seems that CC, like Calibre, must store the metadata in its own directory. Is this true?
I know that (supposedly) if I use Calibre to send the file to my phone, it writes the metadata to the file. Is there a way to get CC to do this?

CC gets its metadata from calibre, including everything you have changed. Every time you connect as a wireless device calibre sends metadata changes.
The metadata in the book itself, which is what Moon+ sees, may or may not be updated. Calibre tries hard to update the metadata in the book when it is first sent to CC, but there are reasons why it might fail.
After the book file is sent calibre makes no effort to update the metadata in the book. CC will never attempt to update the metadata in a book. If you want the book files themselves to be updated with metadata changes then you must a) in calibre "polish" the book so that the metadata in the book file is updated, and b) use CC's update books function to download book files that have changed since the first time.
