Stupid question

I have the problem that some books are marked correctly and others aren't. I will make a detailed list to find out when books are marked correctly and when they aren't.
The strange thing is, when I delete them from the library and reinsert them, then nothing changes. They are still marked as not part of the library/device.

If I know the way the program evaluates this flag, I know why this happens.
Hi Loeffel
This used to work for you for fine, for along time, and then .. it's just out of sync ?
Had that, luckily only once !
Please tell us more about your OS, K3 firmware, Calibre version.
Most importantly : HOW is your work sequence ! ( start calibre, connect K3, bl.a. bla., send books to K3, HOW DO YOU DISconnect K3 ?? From Calibre; shutdown calibre disconnect form OS; or ? )
No help I know so far, but .. I might be able to help.
(I had just recieved a replacement K3, transferred/indexed/collectioned everything, and boom... out of sync. Tried to delete the metadata.calibre file as it is supposed to recreate it self. Didn't work. I then decided to start from scratch again ( DON'T do this yet !!! ) That worked. Have personally changed my "rutines" so once Calibre is done with whatever has to be done, I wait for a minute or 2, then use the OS to disconnect the USB connection, and maybe even a safely remove .. but that depends on your OS.)

@chaley: THANX !
I might be too old, but I can't remember reading so detailed a description as you just posted.
That could help us all to debug if anything happens.
