Hi everyone,

I'm been googling to no avail so I'm hoping someone can help me out here.

All my epub files on my kobo touch seem to have become converted into shortcut files (the 1 kb ones with the small arrow) for some reason. It's really strange - whenever I drag new epub files over on the computer, they become converted into shortcut files but when the novels still open up fine on the ereader.

I'm hoping for a solution that doesn't involve having to reformat everything (ie. erasing everything and starting from scratch means having to reload 500+ files all from different areas - I was never the most organized person...).

Thanks in advance!
