Why do books sometimes re-appear in collections after being removed from it?
On both my old Aura HD and my current Libra H2O, I've noticed that store-loaded books removed from a collection with the KoboTouch driver will usually reappear after a later sync. It often makes a mess of my To Be Read collection when half a dozen finished books suddenly pop back up.
In order to prevent this, I have to remove the book from the collection on the device itself. Deleting the collection entirely and letting KoboTouch recreate it also seems to work. But why does this happen? |

Collections and Kobo store bought and synced books are synchronized to Kobo's servers. So if you do not delete the collections from the Kobo side, they will be recreated on a sync. This was discussed to death years back. The Kobo Utilities had the Fix Duplicate Shelves under the Database item which may help.

What exactly is the difference between KoboTouch modifying the collections and manually editing the collections on the device though?

That is an interesting question. The answers got a bit complicated but what I remember is that the books have to be removed from the collection on the Kobo and then the collection deleted but not purged before the sync. The solution that I used back then and is still in my Kobo eReader.conf file was adding under the [ApplicationPreferences] header:
Code:
SyncShelves=false |
