If I add a book to the Calibre library from my Kindle which has a title of the form "Foo (Bar book #2)" or some such and then I download metadata, the title in the library will then often change to just "Foo". I actually prefer that, but the complication is that it leads to becoming detached from the copy in the Kindle.

Now, I don't mind particularly going into Device and doing the match to reconnect it, but it doesn't seem to always notice in the same session that it is no longer connected. Sometimes it is only disconnected in the next session, which makes me unsure what has happened. Is there a procedure to make sure this connection is remade in the current session?

Also, I would like to push the shorter title to the Kindle since the long titles wipe out the author name when scrolling through. Is there any way to do that short of deleting the book from the Kindle and re-adding it (which loses categories and such)?
