If I understand you right you are indeed missing out on the core use of Calibre. All metadata updating, authors, titles, tags, etc... is best done in the the main Calibre library. I attached a image of my library.

Now at any time I want I can remove the files off of my 505 (using Calibre) then select a 161 new books and using Calibre send them to my device. The author, title and tags/collections will be transferred to. This would just take a minute or two.

Calibre is the restore solution to the trouble you seem to be having.
