The file format comes up as 'Kindle format' but I've generally had no problem putting them on/reading them on the Nexus. I have individually edited the metadata in Calibre, renamed the PC folder titles and downloaded the metadata from Amazon - yet still they will not show correctly on the Nexus. A few series have worked fine, most haven't. Some are relatively old books, others are newer.
The books are normally stored on a shared drive but I know this can cause some issues so have tried moving some to the C:/ drive but still it won't work. I have tried transferring them to the Nexus via both Windows Explorer and Calibre itself but it doesn't make a difference.
I am tearing out my hair here, I believe I'm doing it right but either the PC isn't transferring it correctly to the Nexus or the Nexus isn't reading it right - I just don't know which.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks,
Debbie

I have little hair, so I am safe
Shared drives has most to do with maintaining Integrity of the Library (Single user, not Network disturbance/file system quirk tolerant)
If Calibre does not SEND the books, the most current metadata will not be used. Don't use the O/S to copy (Calibre Library) books to devices. They don't always have the updates.
Use the Plugboard to
wedge the desired metadata fields into the title (or one displayed by YOUR device)
Use the Quality check Plugin to verify all metadata (sorts?) uses the current rules. Use other tools to make it so .
