So if anyone is using the total number of pages to judge how long the eBook is, that won't be correct.

The % read in the footer seems to be working and the page numbers for the chapter in the header are working correctly.
I'm having this same problem with fanfictions updated with calibre on my libra H2O and the latest firmware.

The epub on the device is definitely updated. when I view it using other ebook-viewer directly from the Kobo mounted drive, the new chapters etc are there.

When viewing on the Kobo itself, the intro chapter shows the correct page count and number of chapters in the text but the new chapters are not accessible in the reader. It basically only allows access to the chapters it saw when it *first* opened the book. any new chapter added after that point are unaccessible.

The only solution I have found is to mark the book as unread and then reboot the Kobo. that clears whatever cache it has and it reads the full book just fine next time.

The books are all sent to the Kobo using calibre and the extended driver to convert them automatically to kepub btw. The metadata is being updated properly and collections are being created etc.

Any other solution?

Thanks!
