I am sure there is an option to ignore the timestamps and compare file size and file contents. That may be slower, but if your files are just normal books (and not audiobooks) it may be fast enough.

Alternatively let FreeFileSync sync a few files and see if it wants to sync them again or it it is now happy with those files. If the latter, then the problem may be a one-off and I might be easier to just let it sync all the books once.
I checked and I think it's because both the book uuids and IDs are different for the two libraries. And the book ID is appended to the folder name, so there's probably no way to get FFS to ignore that.

Now that I've run into this problem, I'm thinking I should've first copied over the entire main library folder instead of copying the books over to the new library. I might have to start over.
