Hi all,


I have a very strange issue with my Kobo Clara and I apologise in advance for the long post.

Usually after viewing one of my “collections” such as “Thriller” for example and returning to the homescreen, a tile for that collection will have automatically generated on the homescreen.

However...

I recently decided to download 4 Christmas themed books (2 Kobo kepubs, 1 library book via overdrive and 1 sideloaded ePub).
So I created a new collection and named it “Christmas”. It shows up perfectly normal under my collections view, as well as on the kobo app on my iPhone after syncing.
But after viewing this collection on my Clara, upon returning to my homescreen there is just a blank white space where there would usually be a tile generated.

So...

I deleted the collection and then recreated it. Still no joy.
I deleted all 4 books and re downloaded them, adding them again to the “Christmas” collection. Still not generating a “Christmas” tile on my home screen. I deleted the collection on the Clara, synced the device and then created the collection on my iPhone via the kobo app and then synced it and my Clara again. Still nothing on homescreen after viewing it in the My Books list.
So it’s creating the collection ok. It’s syncing to kobo ok. It just won’t generate a homescreen tile/thumbnail for that particular collection.
I’ve also restarted the device and synced copious amounts.

Now it gets weirder...

If I add some other random books to the collection such as a thriller and a mystery, Lo and behold the “Christmas” collection shows on the homescreen.
As soon as I remove the extra books though it won’t show up again.

Also, if I rename the collection to something like “Thriller” but keep only the 4 Christmas books, AGAIN it suddenly shows on homescreen! As soon as I rename it back to Christmas or Christmas Stories or similar it won’t show up.

I am totally stumped. It’s as if the name of the collection itself is somehow cursed hahaha! It’s a Christmas curse!

But seriously, it’s doing my head in. Anyone had similar happen? Any ideas? All help very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Michelle
