I always update the metadata. What info comes with the book is often times junk. Missing descriptions or crappy descriptions that are more praise for the author than synopsis of plot. Author names inconsistent with what I have for other books by the same author. Horrible tags, or 25 million tags. Publisher names, ISBN numbers, language - I delete all those fields.

I don't consider this "editing the book". Creating good metadata is just one step in adding a book to Calibre IMHO.
