But if this is a known issue, why doesn't Calibre give you a message telling you it can't be done when you run the update metadata function? And if it requires deleting then re-sending to accomplish then why doesn't it just do that? Instead it does nothing and you are sitting there trying to figure out why.
Probably because Kindle is not the only brand with a closed database, and the developers can't keep track of all such devices. Mind, that's speculation on my part, I‘m not a developer.

This inability to interact with Calibre was one of the reasons I switched from Kindles to Kobos a few years ago.
