That's sort of expected. The KoboTouch driver is cheating. It is updating the database directly. Before the device can show this information, it has the read it from the database. The firmware has the details in memory and it has to have a reason to reread the database. Restarting the device is one of the times it does. Adding a book probably will, ejecting and reinserting the SD card almost definitely does. It might also do it when you next open the book.

None of that is a bug in the firmware. The driver is taking advantage of something and has no way to signal to the device there is a change.
