There is probably something wrong with one or all of the books. The Touch process all the new books and puts info about them in its database. This is what is displayed in the library. With the 1.9.x firmwares, the Touch could hang doing the processing and it had to be restarted. Or it would just not process that book and all the others after it. Then you needed to send the books over one at a time to see which was the problem. With the 2.0.x firmware, it seems a little more robust. I think it is hanging less often but, it seems to delete books it doesn't like.
Determining the problem with the books could be hard. The few times I have seen this it was an obvious error in the construction of the epub. epubs converted by calibre are usually OK, so that is a bit strange.

This is what I was thinking as well--I had this issue with a book I downloaded from The Gutenberg Project. I had loaded a whole boatload onto my Kobo, but *one* of them was corrupted, and it kept the device from seeing *any* of them. It sounds similar to what's happening here.
Phoenix, I'd suggest deleting the book in question, along with the two "Welcome to Kobo" thingies, going to kobobooks.com and downloading one of their free books. Try putting that on your device (you can do that either by wifi, Calibre or Adobe) and see if you can access it. If you can, you know the problem isn't your Kobo, it's one of those three books.
