I've had this happen a few times in the past few weeks (and twice in the past few days). It may be a similar issue to this thread:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=230628
But I'm not sure. It looks like that is for the Kobo before the Touch?
Anyway, there are 21 pages to read through in that thread, and I'm not exactly sure it's the same thing, anyway. Plus, a lot of suggestions/recommendions go over my head!
So, I power on my Kobo and the pics of the book covers that are supposed to be there are blank. The first time it happened, my Kobo froze and I had to reset it. The next two times, I've been able to power it down and "fix" it when I got home. The times it didn't freeze, I was able to turn it back on, and see plenty of older books I have there, but nothing more recent. It sort of reverted (and both times I was able to see the older ones, it "reverted" to the same books remaining, so I'm assuming that's a certain point in time).
To fix it, I just plugged it in, re-synced it with the Kobo desktop, then deleted and re-added my library ebooks. As far as Adobe Digital Editions was concerned, those books were still there, but the Kobo wasn't seeing them, or allowing me to see them.
After "fixing" it at home, I'm able to use it again for a while... until the next time it does the same thing!
I'm not sure if there was an upgrade before this started happening or not. I know that the entire look changed with a recent upgrade, and I HATE highlighting now. It's awful!
Anyway, not sure if anyone knows what's happening here, or if there's anything I can do (that's fairly simple and straightforward and step-by-step), but I thought I'd ask here, just in case.
Thanks so much,
