The book info is stored in a database file. Deleting the book entry erases the title, but the actual data is still there. It's a flaw in the way this database file is kept.

Connect your device to a computer. Then go into the folder .kobo. You should see a file called KoboReader.sqlite, erase it, eject the drive, and disconnect. The device will recreate the file. NOTE: This will erase all your KOBO books. Just sync it to get anything you want back.

It will take time to recreate the file, maybe 4-5 minutes.

Once it's back, reconnect to your computer. Find the file again and you should see that it is only a few MB in size. Make a copy of this file. The next time you need to do this, just copy back the file instead of having the device recreate it.
