Thanks, David. :-)
Yes, I realise I can delete the downloaded books from my device each time they're re-downloaded -- and the firmware makes that a little easier by having a blanket option in the settings -- but it's still a bit of a pain. And yeah, the Trash option was only a workaround, but at least it was an option.
By the way, I asked the "service" person why Kobo didn't give any notification that the Library update was happening and Trash would be permanently cleared, and his reply was that the system was owned by Kobo, and Kobo is under no obligation to notify customers of changes. Not an official line, I suspect, but while it's technically true, it still seems a bit raw for an employee to be saying. I'm hoping I get a "feedback" request in my inbox so I can make the comment.
Yeah, I'm not in fact complaining about the new Library -- I agree, this is probably better, once the stumbles are ironed out -- more musing that each time there are changes to systems, there seem to be fewer user options than before. (Kindle and B&N seem to be in similar situations, from what I read.) And the friends of my buddy Alf are noting that the download capabilities of the newer Library seem designed not to let Alf come to visit. The Desktop seems to be okay -- for now -- but maybe in its next update it will no longer be.
