@Cactus Chef: In most cases, updating the metadata in your library shouldn't affect the connection to the books on the Kobo devices. And the KoboTouch driver can update the metadata in the database on the device to match what is in the calibre library.

The main issue would be if you need to resend the book to the device, and change the metadata that is used to construct the file name on the device . If the file name or path change, the device will see it as a separate book. The default save template uses the title and author, but, you could be using something else.
