If you're using dropbox and multiple machines, please make sure you also have good backups.
Starson - great advice and yes, it is the correct metadata, I did check against a backup done recently. And yes, I do backups of my Calibre library on a regular basis. You could say that I have a little OCD about backing up this library so I always make sure of that. I want to THANK YOU along with others like PilotBob for your really good discussions around this issue. Syndey's Mom for asking the originally question which is exactly the same issue I was having. I do love MobileRead because typically whatever question you have, someone else has already asked it.
