I would like to download the books I've purchased from Amazon into Calibre and edit the metadata -- using Calibre to manage my growing library. I have ebooks from various sources, but the majority come from Amazon.

But then, what happens if I get a new Kindle? I can't just copy the files from Calibre to the new Kindle because they wouldn't work. I'd have to redownload them from Amazon.

So does that mean all of my work editing the metadata would have been for nothing? Or could I somehow merge the metadata from the "old" files into the new files?

Thanks! I hope I asked that question clearly.
