Just an update: I had the 'no books found' problem on a Kobo wifi N647 and flashing a different image to the internal SD card fixed the problem (thanks flyboy320!). In my case it wasn't just the books not appearing - the whole .kobo directory was missing. I don't think there's any way to fix this problem apart from reimaging the internal SD card.
I had tried lots of things, but I suspect the problem may have been that the Kobo wasn't mounting the fat32 partition properly on its internal SD card. I tried manually recreating a .kobo directory and adding KoboRoot.tgz, KoboReader.sqlite, etc but the Kobo didn't seem to recognize these at all. Looking at the rcS script, I can only assume the mount command was failing somehow.
E.g. I'd expect Kobo to automatically recreate the .kobo directory, but this wasn't happening.
mount -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/mmcblk0p3 /mnt/onboard
...
if [ ! -e /mnt/onboard/.kobo ]; then
zcat /etc/images/one_moment_please.raw.gz | /usr/local/Kobo/pickel showpic
mkdir -p /mnt/onboard/.kobo
tar zxf /usr/local/Kobo/db.tgz -C /mnt/onboard
...
fi
The strange thing was the actual SD card storage seemed to still work OK when I plugged the Kobo into my PC and transferred files to it manually.
