They swear by the programs and although they do a decent job of manageing books people forget that these 3rd party programs are not in any way supported or endorsed by any ebook device manufacture. While I can not comment on what caused the problem in your case, I have many major issues with dif software that communicated with the Kobo that was not supplied by Kobo. I have resolved all those issues by not allowing the 3rd party software to talk to my kobo.
Good luck

I guess you are referring to Calibre, as that's the software I use. The only other software is ADE and you have no choice in that for books using Adobe DRM. Unfortunately the inept nature of Kobo's native handling of collections of books forces us into using other software. Without a decent way of managing "30k worth of books" there is no point in storing them all on there.
I am talking about how slow and clumsy it is, trying to use Kobo's library list to find an unread book - for example. Maybe I should forget about unread marked books, and just move them onto a shelf called "read books" as I finish them. Unless it totally corrupts the shelves, that might work.
