The side-loaded books were there. The shelves created on the device would disappear unless there was a B&N downloaded book on them. Even on those shelves with B&N products, the side-loaded books disappeared from the shelves (but not from the device).
My hunch is that each time ANY new files were side-loaded, the Glowlight 3 interpreted ALL the side-loaded material as newly added to the device. You could see it happen. The covers of all those side-loaded books would briefly appear in the "new and recent" section of the home page. They would march by like toy soldiers.
As I have over 2000 volumes on my Kobo, you can imagine that this behavior of the NOOK Glowlight 3 quickly became unmanageable.
In B&N's defense, they make no money on side-loaded books, so why should they invest resources in helping us use them?
