Question Inconsistency between metadata in Calibre and on device

Hi everyone

Technical background: device - Kobo Aura; e-book management software - Calibre 2.0.

Problem: Metadata shown in Calibre does not correlate to metadata on device. It does not occur always. Not for every book. Not for every piece of metadata in every book.

I did all the things recommended by the forum: metadata management is set to automatic; ejected and reconnected and ejected again; Set Series information checkbox is checked.

What happens: if I modify book's name, series, author - usually series get to device all right. The name of the author and the name of the book - not always so. I even hit the button in Device tab "update cached metadata in device" - no effect.

The strange thing that when device is connected and Calibre shows the device tab, all the book names and authors match.

What am I doing wrong???
