Ah... So Coolreader changed.

The metadata is not being inserted/updated by the Calibre device driver. (using the OS to copy files bypasses this step, which is why you should AVOID going beneath the skirts)
Just out of curiosity, in what way is using a standard template, as defined in the documentation, to do a normal function in Calibre, "going beneath the skirts?" Please elaborate.

Nor do I understand what you mean by "using the OS to copy files". Anything I push to the tablet is sent from Calibre. Again, please elaborate.

Open the copy on the DEVICE (use device view) with Calibre Viewer: Then use the View Metadata button (colored star) and see what that shows.
(if it is good, then the app is flakey)
Unfortunately, I have no idea what this means. I open Calibre. I have a list of books that are in Calibre. I can click on the storage card of the tablet and see books (I presume they're what's on the tablet, and I can double-click one and open a viewer. I don't see any colored star though.

I'll have to go over to Coolreader and ask there, 'cause it seems odd that doing the same thing the same way provides different results if it's the first book in a folder as opposed to the second.
