  • callibre marks the English ebook as not being present on the ereader (while it is actually already there)

The calibre IDs of both books differ, the German one being higher (newer) as expected.
So the matching process seems somehow to use a different approach than expected.
The IDs are irrelevant. The problem is that the books when sent to the Reader have the same metadata and filenames. You need to make sure both have different filenames and metadata,
