As you can see, any book with a series isn't going to match.
I wouldn't expect calibre to automatically match those books when you plugin the device. The title is to different and needs some interpretation.

Also, this is new. I never had this problem before.

Also, the manual matching is where I am having the problem. Manual matching isn't showing the book I want.

I can type in EXACT name and author, and I will get other books, but not the book I want.
So, you go to the device list, right-click on the unmatched book and select the "Match books to library" option. Then in the search box type "Title of the Book in Calibre" (by that I mean the exact title of the book in your library) and press search, it doesn't show the book that is in your library? Or if you enter a word that is in the title, say "Calibre" for your example, and press search, it doesn't show all books with the word "Calibre" in them, including the book titled "Title of the Book in Calibre"?

If that is the case, I don't know what is happening. This is definitely working here, and I haven't seen any change in behaviour. I use it frequently for those cases where a subtitle or series info is in the title of a purchased books. Usually I just delete the "extra" part of the title to find it in the library, but occasionally have to look and see what the actual title is if there are spelling differences.
