Up till now I always sideloaded my books via Calibre. I have an extension (I think it's the Kobo Utilities extension?) that uploads epubs as kepub, so I could benefit from the extra features like the per book statistics (how many minutes this chapter & the next will take, &c). Untill this week I had FW 2.8. On an Aura HD.

Now I've upgraded to 3.3. And once more the per book statistics seem to be available only for books that I download by synchronizing with the Kobo store. I.e. not for sideloaded books bought there or elsewhere. Even if they'd already been sideloaded as kepubs. Annoying.

Two questions:
1) Is there something to remedy this? Was there maybe a cfg file I had to edit for this? I forgot and it's not easy to find back in some of the lengthy threads here.

2) I'm willing to live with synchronizing too. As long as I can choose *which* books from my Kobo library I synchronize to my device.
Is there really no way to do that? I managed to synchronize only a single book now because it happened to be the first in line.
But is there no way to get a list of the books in the Kobo library and select which of those you want to download to the device?
