It seems that mismatches are sometimes caused by Kobo, not by my editing of the metadata in Calibre.
This morning, I bought a book of short stories from Kobo. It automatically downloaded onto my e-readers when I connected. I also downloaded a copy to Calibre.
When I connected the device to Calibre, there was a metadata mismatch between the two copies even before I touched it. One had "and other stories" appended to the title (correctly), whilst the other didn't. One gave a credit as author to the chap who wrote the introduction (wrongly, IMO), whilst the other didn't. Matching was a simple matter (thanks to the advice given above), but shouldn't have been necessary.
I can't understand why Kobo would have versions that differ in this way, depending on how they're downloaded. I get that one's a kepub and the other's an epub, but it's still bizarre.
