Are you saying that it always creates two lines when you send an updated book to the device?

If so, have you changed the send-to-device template? Or used some other software to load the books? What I am really wondering is whether the book is in fact on the device twice, but in two different places. If this is true, things will get confused. Calibre's author and title matching will match both to the same book, probably creating two lines that could end up pointing at the same file. The Sony software will find both and create two records, but its collections will likely get messed up.

If you delete one in calibre then disconnect, the other should come back on the next connection.

Bottom line: if you change naming conventions, it is best to clean all books off the device and reload. If you use more than one piece of software to manage the device, ensure that the same book is not added by both of them.
