Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quijote
Those sound like the original books that come loaded onto your reader from Kobo, and the funny thing is that most of them wouldn't open on the Kobo reader (at least in my case they didn't, and I had over 20 various books between different readers), and as you said, some aren't even in English. If I remember, I deleted them manually or through Calibre. You might have to hunt for them through explorer though, if I remember, they were in a really odd spot, maybe in the .kobo directory?

If you ever did a factory reset, I imagine those books would be restored, maybe an update restored them though (I haven't been updating since the new homescreen and probably won't ever again).
