Thank you, that is what I needed to know. I was using a tablet, too, and just downloaded into folders and uploaded the folders before I caught on to Calibre. Folders were simply named books, and date. I've had fights with Windows about renaming stuff.

I also hate to retype anything.

Calibre didn't do too well on some duplicates, so it didn't get used.

I needed to know that I can change it. I need to delete from the device and that means finding the duplicates that show on the device and not in Calibre. So it will be work to straighten it all out. Looking for the easiest way. Probably fix the library, format the card and reload the card.

BTW, that's how the duplicates did get on the Kobo. It picked up both when I added the book to the device, except that only one shows in the library.

Can you start another library with the formats you didn't keep? I share with the other half and he has a Kindle.

One more question - can you print out the lists from device/card/library to compare them?
