Calibre should be matching the books on a Kobo device using the title and authors. There is a problem if there are multiple authors. Kobo only reads the first from the metadata and that breaks the matching. To counter this, I recommend using a metadata plugboard and setting the author using the template:

Code:
program: raw_list('authors', ', ')
That improves the matching for multiple authors to nearly perfect. And it is also the way the device understands authors, so it works better there.
