I'm sure this is a simple fix that I'm completely missing.

Just got a KA1 to replace my aging KPW2.

Am having a devil of a time sideloading books to the device and seeing them in the library.

I have sent both kepub and also tried epub to the device using Calibre, and i can verify that file is on device by looking at directory thru Windows Explorer, but when looking at device itself, no books show up under "My Books" or "Authors" or "Collections".

The device shipped with firmware 4.4.9439. I updated to the current firmware which didn't help, and then did a factory reset back down to 4.4.9439 again.

After reset I manually dragged file to the main device directory, and still no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas? The file itself seems fine as I can view it in Calibre, as well as on my old KPW2.
