I can think of two things.

There has been problems with the various Kobo devices not recognising some SD Cards. Kobo have worked on fixing this in the firmware versions. I have three cards and one doesn't get recognised. Apart from not seeing any books on it, the difference is the home screen doesn't flash when it is inserted. For the working cards, the home screen flashes even if there are not books on it. If this is the problem and your Glo is not on FW 2.1.5, this might get fixed with the update. I know at least one person has reported that a non-working card now works.

The other possibility is how the device processes new books. When the device sees new books it processes them and adds them to an internal database. This database is what is read to display the library. In the past, if there was a bad book, the device would stop processing all the others. Any book processed before this one were added to the database. You might have the bad luck that the first book the device finds on the SD card is bad. The only way to confirm this is to take the books off the card and try a few at a time. Or putting them in the main memory and seeing if they work there.
