I never noticed this on my Kindle, but it appears that when the catalog is downloaded to the Kobo it doesn't overwrite what's on the device already. I see the job run when the device connects to download it and the job is successful. But when I open the catalog on the device again I'm right in the same place and the data isn't updated. If I manually remove the catalog before connecting, then I get the updated version to the device. I can't see any option anywhere that determines if/when books get overwritten on the device during download.

Am I missing a simple setting?
