My usual advice for this is to download the epub version of the book from the Kobo web site and add that to calibre. On the next connection, calibre should match these together. You can also add an empty book into calibre if you just want to record that the book exists somewhere.

Thank you for answering my question. If I go and download the epub versions of my books through calibre, would this mean I have to pay again? I have over 90 books with this issue. I wish I'd known about this as I would have bought all of my ebooks through the calibre search function!
