That sounds as if the metadata is not being written to the book, which is of course what your first post says. I have no explanation for that other than DRM, incorrect device choice, or that the book wasn't resent after the plugboard was changed.

If you run calibre in debug mode and send a book, you will see whether or not a plugboard is used, and if so what the plugboard specifies. You can run calibre in debug mode by clicking on the down arrow next to the preferences button.

EDIT: I was not thinking straight. The metadata is changed inside the book, but it is *not* changed in the metadata cache. This makes book matching work correctly, but also means that you won't see the changes to metadata made by plugboards.

If your books are epubs, then open the epub with a zip program and look at the file inside named content.opf. You should see the changes there.

Apologies for the confusion.
