This is usually a sign of a corrupt database. When this happens, changes to the database cannot be written correctly. The device works, but, if it has to reread the database, the recent changes are not there. The fix, unless you have a backup of the database, is to sign out of the Kobo account on the device. When you sign in, the database will be recreated and the sideloaded books reloaded. Unfortunately, you will lose any reading status and annotations for the sideloaded books.

Occasionally the above does not work. When that happens, you may need to do a factory reset. After that the setup, you will need to add your books again.
