Those 81 books are probably what you have in your Kobo "cloud." Go to settings, library, and check "only show downloaded items." That should take care of the mysterious 81.
What other issues are you having? |
Hi thanks for the tip on only showing downloaded items, I'll give it a try.
Right now, I'm not sure what is wrong, the three books I downloaded to my device won't open, or they open but I only see blank white screen. I have to reboot the device to return to the home screen.
When I connected the device to my computer, a sync error appears in the Kobo software. I suspect that may be why I can't access the ebooks. It was working when I went to bed last night. I left it plugged in to charge and this morning I can't open any of the books.
I had disabled the sync because I prefer to manually add items to the book through Calibre and I did turn off the wi-fi. I only received the device last night so I haven't had much time learn how to use it. I didn't think I had time to break it already.
Maybe, something went wrong with the database when I connected and used Calibre to add ebooks to the device?
I suspect with time the layout of the device will begin to make more sense. The Sony devices were never connected to the cloud (which for me was a selling point).
Currently, I am happy I was able to add my own fonts and that the light is adjustable. Now I just need to figure out how how to add my own stuff to the device and leave the Kobo library out of the picture. In hindsight, I should have created a dummy kobo account with zero books in the library since I prefer to use Calibre to manage the books on my device.
Thanks for offering to help,
Amalthia
