These are symptoms of a corrupt database on the device. You will probably see something similar if you power off and on. As you are using calibre, you can check this with my Kobo Utilities plugin. It has an function to check the database and report if there are any problems with it.

The solution is to logout of your Kobo account on the device. This will create a new empty database, restart and prompt you to login. Then it will reload the sideloaded books and download the books from Kobo.

Sometimes this doesn't work. In that case, do a factory reset. That will completely clean everything up and you are back to an out-of-the-box device.
