The files are all epubs, sideloaded thru Calibre. I am using the KoboTouchExtended driver. The Epub Metadata Writer plugin is enabled.

I checked the metadata plugboards. There was one for the KoboTouchExtended driver. I deleted it to see if anything changed. It didn't.

I'm not converting to kepub in Calibre. I'm sending the epubs to the Kobo.

The author is Daphne du Maurier, but only one book in 16 is showing her name on the device. The other 15 show what I think are the names of the people who do the introductions/forwards. The only place I've found these names is on the titlepage.xhtml inside the epub (opened each file in Sigil to check). All of the file names, folder names, and metadate that I can find show du Maurier as the author. I checked the metadate in Calibre, Calibre Viewer, and Sigil.
