I have seen retail eBooks with the same cover image and different title.

It was a Star Trek eBook where the title was Star Trek and when I downloaded a new copy (because I searched by title and it didn't show) it had the correct title. I don't get why the metadata is sometimes incorrect.

What I do now is if the metadata is not correct, I'll correct it in Calibre when it's loaded so I can find it when I want it.
