Are you sure?

I've noticed that some eReaders cache metadata for books in their own internal database (or some other scheme). So if you just changed metadata for a book already on your device, and then just replaced the file, the device might not reprocess that book to change this cached data.
That's a good point the book should be deleted from the device then the updated book should be sent to the device.

Another mistake some people make is thinking that using explorer or other file manager to drag the file to the device is the same as Send to device, it is not the same. Send to device from within Calibre will update the metadata, dragging the file will not.
