Other reasons are series info included in the title (common for purchased books) or using a title format with the article at the end. Unfortunately, in the end you might need to look at each book.

I probably should have been more precise. Most of the books not showing with a green check are old books, causing no problem to this day.
My current plugboard for the Kobotouchextended driver is:

{author_sort}/{title} - {authors}

I remove any mention to the series in the titles as I put the appropriate series info in the series field for books in a series.

This write the matches the "metadata.calibre" on the device and this is used the next time the device is plugged in to help with the matching. Unfortunately, for 1979 books, that is going to take a long time.
If you have examples of books that don't match but look like they should, send me the details and I'll have a look. There might be something that can be done to improve the matching.

I have already deleted the last books with a green check sent to the device. I will try the "Match book to library" operation on the last books without a green check and report here.
