Was this book downloaded before 0.9.67? Does redownloading the book fix the message?

[YodaDaCoda]

This book was downloaded with v0.9.66 but the issue persists with a book freshly downloaded with v0.9.67

I am on 0.9.6.7-beta (2.5.0 server) and I am getting that prompt on previously downloaded books and newly downloaded books. Progress appears to be retained.

Stock Android (motorola edge, android 11, security updates August 1 2022, Play System Updates October 1 2023), no root, app from Play Store.

I just realized what this probably is. You setup your connection on server v2.2.23 or below before we switched to UUIDs. So the user id stored on your device is the old user id and no longer matches the new one on your server.

To fix this I suggest you logout on the device, delete your existing connection and create a new one. New downloads should show that they are correctly linked.

So I am fine doing this, but will I think this is unrealistic if people have a lot of books downloaded. Or its "expensive" to download books (in terms of time for example).

I can push up a fix in the next update. Progress will still be synced properly for all of those items because the server knows how to handle the old user ids. The main issue is that the alert is confusing and misleading.
I still recommend updating the server connection so you have the new UUIDs stored locally.

Fixed in v0.9.68-beta
