You can 'cherry-pick' the fields from that source
I prefer to get the bits I need. Most eBooks are OK enough. The only thing I do download (most of the time) is the cover if there is a generic cover, a low-res cover, or a cover that I want to replace with a different one (the UK cover instead of the US cover or an older cover). A good example of replacing the cover with a different one is the Discworld series. The original covers by Josh Kirby are excellent. Unfortunately he died and did not get to create all the covers.
