IIRC the device db has the lowest priority. So files on the device are always shown as on device regardless of their status in the device db. This has never been a problem with the SONYs as they are a lot more robust than the Kobos.
This isn't a case of lack of robustness. It is either the device hasn't had a chance to look at the book, or the device finding a problem with the book and not loading it.
