Hi there,

I apologize for reviving this thread, but looking at the wiki, I don't see that it's been updated and I seem to be running up against the same issue. Specifically:

1) I have a library of around 800 books in Calibre, which I synced into my KOReader instance.
2) This library has many tags. Upon initial sync, the tags moved to KOReader perfectly, and I was able to browse my library by tag. This was immensely useful.
3) I then went and edited some tags: Removed books that were incorrectly tagged, added books to a tag.
4) I plugged KOReader into Calibre again, and selected "Device -> Update metadata on device".
5) The KOReader tags were then completely nuked. The books are still there, but the tags now show up entirely empty on the device.

I tried recopying one book over (the file was already on the device but I sent it again just in case), at which point the tags for this one book appeared.

So I'm clearly missing something: How can I refine my tag data in Calibre, and then reflect those changes in KOReader?

Many thanks.
