Greetings. I just had an update and now none of my sideloaded books will open. When I click on them it takes me to a page with a menu that reads: Details/Customer Reviews/Editorial Reviews/More Like This. There is a "read" button next to an image of the cover of the book. When I tap on that I get the message: "Could not launch reader." Additionally, I got a book from Kobo today and have made several attempts to sideload it both from within Calibre and directly from my PC. I've put the book in both Nook/My Files/Books (which is where my other sideloaded files are) as well as just in Nook/My Files. I also noticed when I sideloaded this from Calibre it shows up as just as a file whereas my other sideloaded books show up as folders. Regardless, I can't open any of them and the new one doesn't even show up in my library on my reader. Any suggestions? I love the hardware to the Glowlight Plus 3, my favorite of the three readers I've owned, but it sure is a lot of effort just to open a book! Time for a Kobo?
