This is an ongoing irritation, when I copy new book files onto my Mars it takes ages for them to be recognized on the built in Reading app. They do not show in the recently added or anywhere else. After some time, and perhaps after adding them via the file manager they are eventually shown.
I am only talking about the native reading app, they are shown immediately in the file manager and perhaps elsewhere. Rebooting does not seem to help.
I am running android 6. The books were added to the SD card.
Anyone know of a way to speed up the process as I have no idea how it finally gets triggered. One time I wiped the SD card by mistake and it took literally weeks before all the information was up and running again...
