I usually buy from Kobo via the web store. I have bought on the device but mainly as an experiment to see what it was like.

And I'm not sure if I should tell you now, but if you tap the three dots in the grey area at the top of the list, the menu has a "Download all" option.

I hope Calibre will give me an easy way to spot which copy I can delete!
If you have downloaded and sideloaded a book, calibre will show that you have two copies on the device when you connect. Selecting these and clicking the delete button and then the on device button, will show a list of the books. Uncheck the version you want to keep on the device.

As for the other issue, erm - I don't know why Calibre didn't update the cached metadata, but it turns out I wasn't using the KoboUtilities correctly - I hadn't realised that I needed to select the books first! D'oh!

Once I selected all books and clicked update, it reported that all but 4 had been updated. A definite PEBCAK issue there, I think! *{;-)
Been there, done that, muttered something under my breath when I realised why it didn't work
