I have EXACTLY the same problem. I sent an email to the kobo helpdesk noting those three problems. Here is their response:
"We have known issues with our recent update. We do apologize for any inconveniences this is causing.
Our team is currently in the process of resolving these issues. hey anticipate this to be resolved by today and you can anticipate a new update.
Sincerely,
The Kobo Team"
I did find that by doing a hard reset and reloading your ePubs using calibre, I have been able to fix problems 1 and 2, but I could not fix problem 3. I suppose the desktop app update will fix that.

Three major problems now.
1) I can't hide my preloaded books. What is funny is that when I switch to show preloaded they are the only books that show but both "show all books" and "show my books" show everything.
2) My sideloaded books show up in the library but will not load.
3) and to add insult to injury the sync will not add the book I bought from Kobo onto my read.
Needless to say I am not very happy. I know how to rebuild the database from a time when I mucked it up but this time I didn't do anything strange or unusual. I bought a book and tried to sync.  |
