Hello,
I'm having a problem with my metadata. After making changes with "edit metadata" i always then choose "embed metadata" before using "send to device". Sometimes this works beautifully, other times not at all. The changes are reflected in Calibre as far as i can see. But Bookari doesn't always see the changes (i am currently trying to find out if there is a way to refresh the metadata in Bookari). The fact that Bookari sees some of the changes makes me think all is well on that end and something is amiss with my workflow in Calibre.

This brings to mind a couple questions. Is using the "embed metadata" normally enough or do i need to "polish books" too/instead? (or something else altogether). Is there a way to see the "embedded" content of a book file (epub) to verify it is actually embedded?
