Since a lot of titles on my Kobo come from non-Kobo sources, I need a file management tool for copying to and removing eBooks from the Kobo. My two main tools are calibre and the Windows Explorer.

I have run into problems using either calibre or Explorer to delete books from the Kobo. I removed perhaps 15 books with Explorer, and when I booted the Kobo, the screen said "no books". I restored an image, and all was well. I then removed the books using the "remove book" function on the Kobo.

I think the problem is that the Kobo's database is not updating the deletions and the database becomes corrupted, I believe.
