Hi Folks,

Brand new owner/user of a Clara HD. I have Googled and search here but I am unable to find a solution to my problem.

A little history:

While waiting for my Clara to arrive I scoured sites like project Gutenberg and Feedbooks and downloaded many books. Unfortunately I did not understand all of the ebook formats and related issues.

Yesterday when I received my Clara HD I sync'd my Clara with Calibre and many of the books I now had in Calibre only to discover that I had many books that were not in a compatible format with Calibre/Kobo. I thought no problem and deleted all of the non-compatible books in Calibre.

I converted and side loaded the books that I could and everything seemed fine. Then I happened to sort my books by author on the Clara and I discovered that I had many authors with no books!

Unfortunately, all of the instructions I can find online refer to deleting items on the Clara by the book and I cannot find a way to delete authors who do not have books on the Clara: Calibre no long shower the authors.

I should add that I am a long time Linux user and very concerned about privacy so I hacked the Clara to avoid being forced into establishing a Kobo account to use my Clars (a trivial task).

I will ask in another posting about using Overdrive because that is my main intended use of the Clara and I do not have Overdrive on my Clara even after doing an system upgrade to the current system. I mention this because I could easily reset the Clara and start over if that is the answer to original issue.

All info and Comments Greatly Appreciated!

Thanks,
Tom
