I send them to my device using Calibre, to the main memory since I don't have an external SD card on the device. Calibre shows that my ePubs are on the device and they're all present when I open up the Kobo using Finder on my Mac. So the files arethere.

However, my Kobo never detects these files despite my computer and Calibre both saying they are there! Processing content sign will come on but when it's done processes the new ePubs still aren't detected. I've tried restarting a number of times with no luck.

I'm running Kobo with the latest update 1.9.6. Is there anyway to force my Kobo to "refresh " it's memory or rescan the memory?

Many thanks in advance!
Acutally I think the issue is Calibre. I have had no luck using calibre to push the books on my touch and ge the covers displayed. However when i do a facotry reset my covers show up. the epubs are stored on my sd card but are not deleted when one does a factory reset. Once kobo has been restored and updated and it processes the content every thing is great, Untill I start using calibre again and then i cant get covers to show etc. So now I dont use calibre to manage my books on my device and I dont allow it to communicate. An interesting side note here is that Books that i drag and drop onto my device from calibre... all work with the covers but if i use calibre to do it those covers will never appear on my device .

So I am certain that calibre is at fault for alot of the issues we seem to be seeing. It certainly is a common denominator.

good luck
