Quoting from his/her original post on this subject...



I think by "upload" he/she meant downloading directly from Kobo. At least that's the way it appears in context.
My comment was based on pretty much on every other post made by @Butterfly1234. I'm pretty sure that "upload" means sideloading. The other posts explicitly mention filenames of sideloaded books and calibre. The problem is they haven't cleaned up the metadata of the sideloaded books. Books with multiple authors are also mentioned. Kobo does get this right for downloaded books and the posts suggests the metadata in some sideloaded book is wrong.

Of course, I could be wrong as the description of the problem is so bad, that other than there being a metadata issue with the author, I can't be sure what the problem is.
