, never did an update, but I did see the "re-upload" check box with a later attempt. Maybe I missed it the 1st time. But do I understand correctly if I leave it unchecked it will add the book a 2nd time?

Yeah, I kinda hate the standard tags column because it get flooded with tags I don't want to keep (thx to the stupid tagging on AO3) so I move the ones I do want to keep to custom columns and clear out all the others. Which means I have customs columns for "Show/Movie", "Characters", "Pairing", "Genre", "Status" Complete/In-Progress, "Read" Yes/No and even a review one. Right now I have "Show/Move" turning into shelves which is great, but when I open a book I want to just see the other tags as well, plus be able to search for them or a combination of them. All these columns work with tag-functionality. So I'm not really sure what you mean by "they added additional tags using the tags functionality if they wanted it to act as tags" because yes we do, but not necessarily in the standard tags column.
Also I'm kind of missing a status or a way to get a certain status when you sync. You have plan to read, currently reading and completed. Now a lot of fanfiction is added to over time, sometimes years. So they are not completed, you get a bit lost in currently reading of you leave them all there because which one has been updated and which one wasn't. So I would like all newly uploaded/updated stories to have the mark "plan to read" so once I have read them but they are still incomplete I can remove all those statuses but still have them in my library pending an update.
Another thing I came across 'reviews' I kind of managed a test review once, but for the life of me I for a week I could not figure out how to anymore and then by accident I noticed it's only visible in the web version (and it's a little star which to me point more to favorite then reviews), and not the android or IOS versions which I use to read.
So I think you should improve on this as well as make it available to all versions.
And might I make a suggestion that allows to sync both review and rating as well as a reading status back into Calibre's customs columns since that is what started all this and is used by all of us to manage our very extensive libraries.
I'll keep giving feedback as I go. I do use it because I love the easy sync option without have to actually connect my device or the calibre app that gets stuck all the time.
But to actually get a paid account, I would need more then what I'm getting now. For now I find it hard to keep track of my reading status with 25 books let alone hundreds/thousands. Same would go sifting through what I'm in the mood to read for with out the custom tags.
