Some do, some don't. Some with multiple authors match and some with only one author don't match. One anthology has 22 authors and matches.
Or do they have the title on the device as the "sort title"? Or have series info in the title? These could also break the match back to the library.[/QUOTE]
No series info in title but it is in author and I use author sort for author.
All of the books matched in August. I know this because I used the kobo utilities at this time and the books must match to be processed. I remember checking. Basically this is the only reason I care. I had a hard drive failure and lost my kobo utilities info. Other than that I would just delete them all and try again
What seems odd is that when I add the books from the device to a new database(library), I still have 466 that don't match. If I add an unmatched one twice I get a duplicate warning but still doesn't match. Probably a logical explanation but I can't see it.
I wanted to try your new kobo utilities sort features but am mired down in big mess
I will probably plug in the mini today. Has less books so might be easier to deal with and maybe easier to see a pattern.
