So I had a series that I added to my KT via Calibre. The metadata in Calibre listing the series number doesn't show up on the KT (nor is it displayed in the Calibre library, for that matter). This makes it rather difficult to tell which book is what in the series.

So I removed the books from my KT, and changed the names to include the numbers - I added "#(numeral)" to the ends of all the titles. I then tried to re-add them to my KT.

They show up in Calibre, both on the library side and the device side, as being added. But when I unplug my KT they aren't there. And when I plug it back in and open up Calibre, the books are displayed as not being synced to my KT.

What the reason for this? Is it KT or Calibre? Is there some sort of hidden file I have to get rid of before it will re-add?
