Yeah, after all that fuss from my end, I finally capitulated and renamed the directory .books. For those working with Windows 10, who are reading this, the way to start a directory with a dot is to rename with starting and trailing dot ie .books. Windows will remove the trailing dot and leave the directory named .books

What did not help me was my microSD card getting corrupted. Everytime I tried something, the card will require a re-scan to fix issues. And after fixing the issue, there will either be a bunch of FSCKXX.rec files on the card, or the card would have been completely deleted. Finally I tried another card and it was OK

So I installed Cool reader which has main directory as subdirectory in .kobo (.kobo/vlasovsoft. And all the images in that directory has been scanned by nickel
