Touch Strange Books Listed as "Last Added" on Kobo Desktop App

tea2 · 07-18-2012, 12:03 AM

Since update 2.0, strange book titles are appearing in the "last added" space on my kobo desktop app. The latest one is "Kobo" with a string of Asian characters. The titles aren't on my Kobo or on my computer. They're not in my library either, so I don't think (I hope) it's not about account confusion. They're not on my wish list or in my recommended list either. Nothing weird's appeared on my visa.

It's probably the little Kobo how to guide, though why you got the Japanese version (guessing here) is beyond me.

Hmm...ok...I can see that one on Calibre. Weird. But there were two others before this that I didn't recognize. I thought they were a new set of previews with the new build or something, but I can't see any new ones on that shelf. I'll see if it happens again and write down the title(s).

I believe mine was showing one of the Recommendations. (Which I don't want, and never want, on my reader. Especially as the wifi still doesn't appear to work for me, so I couldn't even buy these books if I wanted to.)

I noticed that too. Mine was 'The complete works of George Orwell' and I just assumed it was some sort of test as part of the upgrade.

Ok, thanks all. Not going nuts, then (yet

).
