After dismissing these tiles, removing the card and inserting it again, only the library tile is redisplayed. It shows however many books were on the SD card as new. The same thing happens after a power off or connecting and disconnecting from the PC.
What you describe makes me thing there is a database problem. If the processing screen is displayed each time, then it definitely is corrupt. But, it could be a smaller problem in the database affecting just the table used for the tiles.
You can do a check of the database from a PC. If you use calibre, my Kobo Utilities plugin has an option to check the database. Though there is a fair chance that calibre will report an error when it sees the device and tries to read the database. Otherwise, you need an SQLite browser and execute "PRAGMA integrity_check". If it returns "OK", the the database is fine and the problem is elsewhere. Anything else and the database is corrupt.

Yeah, it doesn't show the "new" tiles (I'm not sure why I had forgotten that if it was seeing them as new, it would do this), but it does cause issues with all the tiles of SD card books being kicked off the home screen. Except the top of the last read, if it happens to be on the SD card WON'T be kicked off the homescreen. All the books I've read recently still show up when I go to the books list in the library....so my glo still seems to "remember" which books SHOULD be on the homescreen.
While trying to figure out what was going on, I've probably powered off my glo more than I have since owning it. So normally this wouldn't be a huge issue for me, but I'm a bit surprised if others are seeing this and not complaining. I don't mind the added tile, but I hate that the books I was reading aren't on the homepage anymore.
I have tried both your plugin and the sqlite method of checking the database. Both come back as OK. That's another reason I've just left this issue and hoped for a fix. Or that someone would confirm it's not just me.
So if you fill your whole homescreen (on your glo) with only books from your SD card, then power off, power on, what books do you have on your homescreen?
btw sorry feedbakbwr for derailing your thread...I just thought there was a possibility we had the same issue.
