I've been doing this for years, but suddenly it isn't working properly. I've recently updated to the latest Calibre and MacOS.

In the past, if I transfered a book (e.g., The Twin Towers, book 2 of LOTR) and I looked at the Device view in Calibre, the Title would display as "The Twin Towers". Today, the Title in Calibre's Device view is "LOTR 02: The Twin Towers" (the display title as modified by my plugboard). Because of this, it doesn't match the Title in the Library, and therefore On Device is left unchecked.

Stranger still, I transfered a new book in a series today, and the Title and On Device worked properly. I quit and rebooted everything, and the old books are still wrong and the new books are still correct. On the Kindle in the Library view, both old and new Series properly display all titles in the style of "LOTR 02: The Twin Towers".

Any suggestions for a fix to this (other than retransferring hundreds of books)?

Calibre 7.20 on MacOS 15.1
Kindle Paperwhite 10th generation
Firmware 5.16.21 (4289730037)
