Hi everyone,

I think I've figured out the issue - and it wasn't Kobo's fault this time. The same thing also happened to my USB stick when I plugged it in. So I did more searching and it turns out that it's actually some kind of malware that turns all files on external storage devices into shortcut files.

Anyways, it's all been fixed now and thank you everyone for your help!!
