![]() ![]() When you change the metadata using calibre, it doesn't change the actual book. That isn't what the embed metadata function is about. And there is an addon for the device to do it as well. The KoboTouch and KoboTouchExtended driver supports adding the series info when the device is plugged in. Kobo devices do support series info, but, it doesn't read this from the sideloaded books. A metadata plugboard can be used to add the series info to the title or other metadata the device reads. I don't believe Kindles support series info in any form. There are applications that read this, but, I don't know of a ereader device that does. ePub2 also doesn't support series info, but, it supports application specific attributes, so calibre uses that. To the best of my knowledge, AZW3 doesn't support series info, so it doesn't get added. And then it requires the device or app to read the metadata from the book. When you send a book to the device, metadata will be updated in the book file. For example, if you edit the book using Sigil, you probably want the metadata updated in the book file. In my mind it is only needed if you use books directly from the library in other tools. ![]() The embed metadata function was added so that the book in the library can be updated without other side-effects. Others are when a conversion is done, using Polish books or when you edit the book. Some are when the book is exported from calibre via send-to-device or save-to-disk. Calibre will update the actual book at certain times. When you make a change, it is written into the database, but, the books stays the same. Will it work with epub (as I'm planning on switching from Kindle to Kobo)?That isn't what the embed metadata function is about. I've tried the embed metadata button but it does not seem to embed the series info into an azw3. ![]()
