There might've been an error when the books were being copied. If the folders don't equal the displayed consumed storage on you Glo (and your computer displays the appropriate storage pie chart) then there might be a problem on your Glo's database. Just log out under account settings and log back in. You will loose all your reading progress, annotations, and reading life though. You could make a back-up using Calibre and the Kobo Utilities plug-in. And speaking of the plug-in, you can also check the integrity of your Glo's database using said plug-in. But I can assure you, unless your books are 10MB each, you won't run out of storage that fast...


Thanks. I decided to log out of Kobo on my ereader. It took me through the setup process again, and is now in the process of downloading my library. I opted for wireless setup this time, as opposed to connecting the reader to my PC as I had done initially. I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that my Kobo library is comprised of quite a few books purchased from the Sony reader store site when they were around.

I also find charging the Kobo Glo via the USB connection on my PC is very slow. Its been connected for several hours and shows only 54% charged. Is it possible to charge via an AC adapter?
