this has possibly been answered elsewhere but I can't seem to find it

I love being able to update the metadata for my books, downloading covers etc. but this info doesn't seem to get saved to the file unless i convert it. sadly many books i download are already in a format I like, some in a format that Calibre, doesn't output to (azw, and yes i know i could use mobi)

is there way to save the meta-data to a book without having to convert it?

this would be especially useful with PDF as many of the ones i have don't convert to other formats very cleanly

The book covers don't show up n my Kindle, but it's nice to know its there, there rest of the info though, would be nice to have
