But still not the originals that came with the reader, I was hoping adding the books would trigger the others to be picked up.

I even did a factory reset thinking when I transferred books over with Calibre that it wasn't able to "see" those books in the other directory so they were ignored, or something else I might have messed up in the hurry to start reading on it when I first got it. But it's the same thing, there doesn't seem to be a way to view those free books.

So what's the trick to actually load those free books?
Are you looking at the 5 books, one each in English, German, French, Dutch and Spanish?

See this post for more information.

You can copy them to your computer, rename to add .kepub.epub extension and then open with your preferred epub app to get the title/author, rename and sideload to your ereader.
