I have always downloaded the kobo books them removed them so I only have sideloaded books on the device (more so I don't get confused tbh). The kobo books go in separate collections starting with zzz.

For example

Without You from kobo will be in the zzz Josie K collection
Without You sideloaded will be in the Contemporary collection.

However on my Glo the Kobo Without You is in both collections. Is this because it's picked up the same name, ignoring the fact that I never added the Kobo Without You into the Contemporary collection? And the bookshelf in Calibre for that book is only Contemporary. The word Kobo is in the tags?

If so I guess this is the case on my H20 too only I've never realised as I have hundreds of books on that reader.
The collection management is done if calibre can connect a book in the library to a book on the device. If calibre puts the book on the device, updates a file to keep the connection. If the book gets on the device in some other way, it uses the title and author to match the book to the library. Hence, if you have a kepub and epub version on the device, when the collection management is done, it does it for both.

The simplest fix is probably to manually move the kepubs from the collections. If there are to many books, you could do it via calibre, but it would mean changing the column used for the collections and connecting a couple of times to get the books were you want them.
