I recently found about a dozen updates available for books on my Kindle and so got them. In two case, there was some title change (adding the series identifier), but for the rest, the title was the same. In the Kindle, all showed as new. In Calibre, the title changed ones showed as new and the others showed as already in the library. For each, I added the title to the library, reconverted to epub for my wife, and merged the two books into one. The book now showed as not in the device in the library, so I went back to the device and did a match books followed by update cached metadata.

Doesn't it seem like this should be simpler?
