I recently had the same issue. This worked for me. One thing to remember is that if you have multiple instances of the same shelf, you only have to clear the first one as you do this.
Some shelves would indicate that they had several books on them, but when I went to manage them, they appeared empty. I did have the option to "create" the shelf. I did that after removing the books manually in the manage shelf area. After doing that, some of my kobo books appeared on the shelf, with "buy now" on them. I already owned these books.
I only had 31 books on the device. 6 in main memory and the remainder on the SD card.
This was not my first rodeo, so I knew what to do.
1) I removed the kobo books from my library via the website
2) I removed the SD card
3) I signed out of my account
4) I signed back in (now have a clean Db)
5) I went through the shelves and deleted the buy now books (which I already owned) using manage shelf and any other books that showed on shelves until all the shelves showed as empty. With multiple instances of the same shelf, you only have to do this for the first one.
6) I connected via calibre with the driver set to remove empty shelves
7) I confirmed that I no longer had shelves on the device
8) I did a sync which resulted in no shelves at all as there were no books on the device and the empty shelves were removed by Calibre.
9) I added the kobo books I wanted on the device into I'm Reading via the website
10) did a wifi sync to get them on the device
11) added the SD card in again
All was well.
