If this is the case, it is OK, at least it is better than manually update metadata to device.


UPDATE:
I found that when I connect kobo device with Calibre, and modify the metadata of a file such as changing the title, I can use "Device->Update cached metadata on deivice", and I don't have to unplug and replug again, it will sync the metadata into kobo device.
All that is correct. And if you send a book to the device, it will also trigger the update. But, as I rarely change metadata while the device is connected, it doesn't worry me. Most of the times I am editing metadata for a book that is on the device, I have the device next to me showing what I need to fix. And it is rarely more than tweaks. I update the metadata when I add the book to my library, and unless I see spelling or formatting mistake later, probably do not touch it again.
