My Glo updated to 4.18 recently from 4.15 I was surprised to see in "My Books" a whole load of odd looking "books" with no title. I then realised they weren't books but .png files use by the system for icons.

The annoying thing is they show up at the beginning of the list when I sort on "Recent" which is how I normally find stuff I've recently added and was going to read. I have to go through 8 or 9 pages of these before I come to "proper" books.

I've looked for threads that might explain this but not been able to spot any.

Is this some sort of deliberate change by Kobo ? .png files aren't books so why have the system find and classify them as such?

Is this a known issue that might be corrected later or am I stuck with it ?
