I think this change is a step backward, I hope they are going to return the missing functionality of the Trash folder in some form.
Previously I was able to delete a book completely from my device and account, but have it sit in the Trash folder on the website in case I wanted it back. Even if the publisher decides to withdraw the book from sale I could still download the original version by temporarily moving it from Trash back into my Kobo library, downloading, then movng it back to the trash.
But now I would have to leave it in my library to avoid losing access if the publisher decides to withdraw the book, and just delete it from the device only. While this would still allow me to download it again by tapping the download button on he device, and I can hide it from the main library lists, it still shows up in search results together with the corrected book which is a bit of a pain.
I have the ePub version of all my books downloaded and backed-up so it is not a big loss if I lose access to the syncable version of the book in my Kobo library, but it is still amounts to one less reason to prefer buying books from Kobo over other ePub retailers.
