I don't know what is happening. If the books are shown in the library on the device, then calibre should display them in the device list. And it should then match them. As a test, I removed the metadata.calibre from one of my devices. This has 599 books on it. Most were downloaded directly from Kobo. Calibre was able 490 of them. The ones that didn't match were the ones I didn't expect. These are books where the title Kobo has is different to what most of the metadata sources have. Or where they include the series name as part of the title.

That should happen unless there is an error happening along the way.
Yes, this is indeed weird... The books are on my device and they all come from Calibre (I never download, only side-load, using Calibre) so they're also all in my library. I do use a naming template (I add the series number in front of the title, in case a book is part of series, and a version number, which is a custom column in my Calibre db). Based on what you say, and what was said earlier, no books should be found (as the versioning is always part of the filename) or only the non-series books should be found (series number in the title). The fact that there are series where one book can be found and not the other, and non-series books that also only have the version nummer added cannot be found, is weird!
