I have a Kobo Libra H2O.
When i connect it to the pc via a cable and when i start calibre, a column "On Device" appears with a green check mark next to the books that are in the library and found in the Kobo.

I would like to have the same information when the Kobo is not connected.
I have created for now a column "On Kobo" (lookup name: #onkobo; type: text, column shown in the tag browser), so that when the Kobo is connected, i can select the books which are idenfied as "On device", and then i manually update their metadata (column "On Kobo", i write "yes"). And then when the device is disconnected, i can easily what i have transfered to the Kobo.

But the process is manual, i think i managed to automate this in the past but i don't recall how. If it matters, i have the Kobo Utilities plugin installed
You can use the Reading List plugin to automatically add or remove from your On Device column so you can see what books on on your Kobo.
