As I said, I don't have a good solution. If you have the same books on all devices in the same locations, then doing the match on one and copying the metadata.calibre file to the others will probably work. If you have one device that has all the books and the others have a subset, then copying from the main device to the others should work as well.

Backing up the metadata.calibre and restoring it after all the books have been restored after a factory reset should also work. I've been planning to add this into the backup done by the Kobo Utilities plugin for a while. I'll do this the next time I work on the plugin.
