Hoping this is the correct thread to ask for help.
I use my KT and my iPad 2 app (5.12).
My IOS app emptied all my books recently (no explanation why) , syncing from my KT didn't bring them back. They showed but were not downloaded.
With much help and advice from Sharkus I realised syncing on my KT and updating from my iPad had not been working completely, probably for a while. It only changed my reading position on sync and downloaded recently purchased books.
My KT has been 'tricky' over the last 6 months. From being a beautifully behaved e-reader it started to freeze on page turning. Also it created multiple Shortlist shelves. I have 6, they cannot be deleted or renamed. I did write a post about this problem a while back. The KT is also sluggish, closing my books or any action happens slower than a few software versions back. I am thinking of resetting it, I can't think of anything else.
I only have Kobo books, and don't use ADE or Calibre, all my books are on Kobo.com but which of my devices acts as 'the Master'? Or is it just the first one I sync from? I have just over 100 books and have decided, to save any possible complications, to only use the 'I'm Reading' and 'Shortlist' shelves. I'm just not quite sure which device I should arrange to perfection first....
I would be grateful for any tips on which device to sync first and would be delighted to hear from anyone who has fixed the multiple shelf issue or should I just buy a kindle?
Thank you,
Amanda
