something in the chain of calibre content server on PC -> calibre companion on tablet -> Moon reader on tablet is serving up a older cached copy and it's driving me mad trying to diagnose track it down
I tweaked a book - remoing some ornamental scene breaks. then I wiped the tablet copy and deleted the CC record, reconnected & redonloaded it - but the ornaments were still there. Yet they are definitely not there in the epub , viewed in calibre editor or sigil back on the PC, and I only have one copy of the book in one format, in the library.
My calibre library is on C drive local directory - no cloud stuff involved.

I have been through this in various ways, checking it really has left the tablet - by using file explorers and trying to open bookmarks to it... also checking tablet file time stamp after re fetching it to see that yes its a brand new copy.

What did just help is that I completely closed calibre and restarted it - then re-acquired the book, and now I get a newer version. which suggests that calibre content server, or windows ??? is to blame for the caching. Not CC or tablet.
how can I trace this better ?
the evidence so far suggests that the content server is holding a temp copy of last book sent or recent books sent and to when it is re-requested it uses its own temp copy and doe not get the actual up to date version from the calibre library . is that possible ?
