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.

Kind of high jacking this topic since it is a similar issue.
I have been syncing CBZ's for a long time now without issue and the author and other information coming over. Since my Windows 10 reinstall in March I have been unsuccessful in syncing.
At first items synced did not update the database. Then I started getting a malformed database error after connecting the Kobo. I have signed out and back into the device multiple times trying to resolve the issue.
I have since moved to KoboTouchExtended and same issue but without the malformed database error. The update metadata on the device just does not want to work for me anymore.
