Can someone please give exact step by step instructions on how to side load using Windows Explorer?
Calibre and my Kobo will not talk to each other - rather childish I know but that's how it is.

I have tried several times to sideload with Explorer and while the Kobo is connected to the computer the books appear to be on the Kobo however when I unplug the books do not exist.
Am I doing something wrong? Although surely it's just like dragging something onto a USB stick or a portable hard drive isn't it?

EDIT: OK so I finally gave up and did a factory reset. I didn't want to do that as it meant that I would lose all my books. But now sideloading through Windows Explorer works the way I expected it to. Obviously my problem was not sideloading but that my database was a bit dodgy - AGAIN!
