On my KA1 LE, I did a manual update which corrected a problem. Then I decided to power off the KA1 LE & left it powered off for a day. When I turned on the KA1, things seem fine until I selected the "collections" list; every collection is listed as having 0 books.

The 'American Literature" should have 17 books; 'Asian Literature' 52 books; Mystery 92 books; Sci-Fi 300 books; etc.

The books were loaded from Calibre with the tags as my collection names for the KA1 LE. But now, the books in the 'collections' disappeared even if the books are in the books & authors listings.

I can "re-import" by logging out/logging in my account but that is not really a solution or desirable.
That shouldn't have worked. Unless the only books in the collections came from Kobo. And then all it is doing is syncing the books and their collection status from the server. This isn't done for sideloaded books which is one of the reasons why calibre is so useful for collection management.

Or did you connect to the PC after the signing back in and let calibre do its thing? And, depending on exactly what went wrong in the first place, connecting to calibre would probably have fixed things without the signing out.

It is claimed that a file-manager is not needed, but how about a database manager? Or both?
Purely for my information, how would you having a database manager have helped with this?
