Hello
As the title says, I cannot access some of the books from the internal storage of my Boox Nova Pro. More precisely, I have access to some, but not all the books from one of my folders. I guess it's a permission problem. I can read the "missing" docs within the Nova, they are visible inside the ereader, but not from the laptop.

A few weeks ago I moved the books from the Wifi folder to the default one (Downloads) via the laptop. Then the problems started - I couldn't read the books moved, the OS allerted me that the book is missing from the library and asked me for a rescan (I don't want to do that because I have the books ordered in the library and a rescan means that I have to add again every book in the folder). Probably the Android OS protected the books from Downloads when I copied the new ones in the same folder, and this protection prevents me from access them from an external device.

Any suggestion?
