And I think maybe most don´t know there is a difference between cover and title page.
If I wouldn´t use both in different ways I probably would not care much about that, too.

Admittedly, I haven't explored the idea any further than, "yes, metadata jacket is customizable", but it offers some clear advantages--most prominently that can be used on ebooks from other sources and other formats(than epub).
It´s as baggins41 said: I want to avoid re-downloading the book I already have (to avoid unnecessary traffic on the site) or in case the original story no longer exists because than it gets an error and no updated title page.
If there is another way to “update” title page without downloading the book again from the site that would be enough for me.

But can I use Calibre's built-in metadata jacket to add custom columns (which I maintain manually after downloading) to my title page?
And how do I update my book to do this?
