it seems that iOS apps have access to a very small amount of storage, when this is reached the OS auto deletes things

closing apps makes a huge difference to how it works for me, double click the home button to see all suspended apps at the bottom, click and hold and then removing these
Yes, I have the app to only download the latest 5 as well, as I have 50-odd books in my Kobo library now, so I have never tried to download them all. It occurs to me that since one of the books in my latest five is unusually large (80-odd megabytes) that may be using up the app's storage space and triggering the auto-deletions you mention. I hadn't thought of that before I must admit :chin scratch: The question is, what do I do? I can't elect to only download one book to maximise the available space, for example, as the iOS app doesn't have that option: it's all or the latest five only. Not very flexible.
