That's right, Kobo devices do not read metadata from inside CBZ, CBR, TXT and some other formats. For these formats, the filename is used as the book title and the author will be "Unknown Author". But, the KoboTouch driver can update the database the next time you connect the device. The driver can update the metadata for books on the device that match books in the library each time the device is connected. This includes the title, author and series information.

To do this, in the driver configuration, enable the "Update metadata on Book Details pages" option and on the "Sending books to devices" page of the preferences, set the "Metadata management" option to automatic.
