Got my kobo today, really feel like taking it back for a refund but can't as house rabbit managed to chew the cable :-(

Loaded about 400 books (epub) from calibre onto the kobo - only 16 are visible. They're in the root folder if I go into the device through my computer. Similarly, put about 100 books onto an SD card (had to drag directly into folder as calibre couldnt sync with kobo with the card in) - only 10 or so pdf are visible.

Tried ADE and it just keeps coming up with error #2038

Tried kobo desktop app (downloaded from the kobo website) and it says it cant sync with the device as it needs the latest version?! No update thing pops up, according to the website that is the latest version and I updated the kobo as soon as I received it!

Im seriously fed up and tearing my hair out here, thought it was going to be so much better than the kindle and so far its next to useless.

It's the kobo reader wifi btw - anyone got any bright ideas?
