Hi,

I have a Kobo Aura H2O, and I managed to get everything set up as I want it last night (series info displayed under the book title, collections added, etc).

However, there is one remaining fly in the ointment, and my google-fu must be weak: I've updated the book titles in calibre to strip out series information. This shows up correctly for all books when I view the books on my device in calibre, and also for side-loaded books on the kobo itself.

However, books that were downloaded directly onto the kobo from Kobo's website are showing up with the old name.

E.g. Where calibre has "Southern Charm" in both the library and device views, on the kobo, it shows as "Southern Charm - Max Porter, #2".

As far as I can tell, metadata (set to automatic management) has been uploaded correctly, as the books show up in the correct collection.

Is this just a quirk of the Kobo-direct-download that I have to live with, or have I missed setting an option or something to override the title on the device?
