Thank you for the suggestion but it does not work.

The "
Read metadata from file contents rather than file name" is checked, and in fact the library is populate with metadata contained in the file rather than just the name of the file. The problem is that Calibre does not fetch metadata info from the "metadata.calibre" file on the root of the device.
For example, a file name "X.pdf" contains some metadata that specifies that the author name is "J.D.", and in "metadata.calibre" it is better specified that the author is "John Doe".
The "device" book list on Calibre properly shows "John Doe" as the author, adding the book to the library results in "J.D." to be set as the author in the "library" book list.
