Confirmed that it didn't get sent to device as a new, separate book? That happens when the save path changes.

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. When sending an update to an existing book, it doesn't work with the send to device option, or the reading list sync. New books (books that aren't on the device yet) work fine. It's just that for some reason it looks like it doesn't overwrite existing books.

Is the send-to-device list bound to the device? Resetting your Kobo can make Calibre think its a new device.

If you uncheck that box, the version on Kobo gets deleted and the new version gets sent. If title or other identifying information is changed, the new version will get sent but the old will not be deleted and you'll have both old and new on the device. If that box is checked and certain things are changed, you'll get an error when trying to read the book on your Kobo. |

I have... Code:
books/{author} - {series} {series_index:0>2s|| - } {title} Also, changing any metadata you use in the save template will cause the book to have a different filename and you will end up with multiple copies. |

ANYTHING that changes those values used in the template will trigger the NEW condition. This may include using a different OS or simply, a change of case

Yes, this. The older version of the book will also receive the metadata updates, so you'll end up with two copies but one is outdated.

For now I've decided to just use the save to disk functionality in calibre and that seems to work
