My KA1 had a collection list that had books in each collection after sideloaded from Calibre.

Okay. The books I have on the KA1 LE were all 'sideloaded" from Calibre & collections were created & populated with books.

The original problem is that the collections were "de-populated" after I did a power off for about 1 day & power on. Was the collection listing display done from ram where data disappear after being powered off? Does the database need to be "re-synced" after turning the KA1 off? Is the database really in "temporary" storage & need to be synced when the KA1 is turned off?

I see what people are saying, but no one addressed the issue of the collections listing of books being set to 0 books just because the reader was turned off. Looks like the collections listing is just a temporary list?
One possibility is database corruption. When your Kobo was power cycled, the database would be saved from RAM and then copied back to RAM on power on. If the database has issues, this process will fail. On one occasion, I hadn't powered off my Aura H2O for months and when I did a firmware update, the database came up with issues. Using a SQLite management utility, it showed quite a few errors in the database and I ended up doing a sign out/sign in to restore the database to a good condition.
