For selected books this will update your Kobo's database directly without the device needing to re-read the metadata inside the epub. It has the ability to transfer all sorts of calibre metadata not typically read from the epub during initial transfer. The combo of calibre metadata plugboards and the Kobo Utilities plugin is pretty great IMO.
There's a similar option in KU for updating your cover thumbnail/screensavers if it's of any interest. |
Just connecting the device to calibre will do the series info update assuming the configuration is correct. The driver does this on each connection. It only does the differences between the library and device. So the first time for robilarocn would probably take a few minutes, but after that it doesn't take much time at all.
But, from robilarocn wording, I suspect calibre isn't used for transferring books. My guess is that calibre is used for conversion, but management is done elsewhere.
