Thanks. That's a lot of helpful information.

Resend books to the device.

Ok, now I have two of many books on the device. I probably shouldn't have resent every book in the Calibre library (I'm lazy), but apart from that, I'm guessing the metadata that I've changed is the very thing used to identify books in the database.

Edit: Actually, I think it may be because of the path of the book changes according to its title and author sort strings. Anyway, I figured out how to use Calibre to remove duplicate books from the device and think I have it mostly solved.
