I'm still thinking about one special thing. Perhaps there the error comes up, but I don't know and it is hard to evaluate. If I am right soon all would be messed up again! Nothing I would like.

Like you I want that the data I see is correct, so if I have such an indicator I want that it is right what is shown. What use do I have if it isn't that way?

I have two ways of transporting.
1. From Calibre to my Kindle (that should be no problem at all, but by now even this information isn't always right)
2. From my Kindle to Calibre (books I have purchased and for sure those I want to have them in my library too)

Perhaps a full reset would help, but what must be done else?
I had imported books into Calibre and corrected their data (title, author, publisher and so on). Can this mess up everything? What happens If I merge the data with my books already in the library?
First I thought merging was the problem, but my tests show otherwise. It doesn't matters. Sometimes the book aren't marked directly after transfer, sometimes after disconnecting and reconnecting.

Now you can say: "Hey by now he could have reseted the Kindle and done the work" but it is a lot of work. I have filled all the data of the book after importing them from my Kindle, sometimes even changed the picture and I just don't want to do it all again. ;-)

So I still try to figure out the failure and try to repair it and even if this isn't possible I want to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Calibre is a fine program and I really appreciate it and so I put a lot of work into building up my library. So I don't want to throw away a little bit of this work and redo it.

As far as I understand by now there is only the metadatafile from Calibre which is used to evaluate this tagging. Is there also something on the Calibre side?
