Correct metadata? I just deleted about 1/3rd of my ePUB and PDF files from ADE. Legally purchased from various sources. Having "cool" author names like "some guy", "24/7", "company name" and things like that. About 1/3rd of my books (no matter what format - maybe with the exception of Microsoft lit which usually seems more carefully prepared) I have to strip from DRM and manually adjust metadata in calibre. Very often, I get worse quality in purchased books than in pirated ones.
That's one of the reasons why I like iLiad that much. I can change those flaws directly on the reader.
