sideloaded epubs showing in Nickel, not KOReader?
My Libra is running the current firmware and KOReader tells me it's up to date "v2021.06.30gbfda4bc_2021-07-10"

I added 3 books (sideloaded epubs) to my device, and NONE of them are showing up in KOReader at all.

At first I thought it was just the series info and tags that weren't showing up, so I deleted calibre.metadata, reconnected my device, and first selected "update cached metadata on device" then ran Kobo Utilities "Update metadata on deice twice, unplugging and replugging between each run. NO metadata changed in KOReader, including the 35 or so books that should have had the "TBR" tag removed.

That got me thinking, so I checked for the 3 books by the authors' names, and they are not showing up in KOReader. They ARE on the device, all show up in Nickel, and one is open there, but they are invisible to KOReader it seems.

How can I fix these problems? I would (a) love to read the books in KOReader and (b) have metadata update on device when I synch with Calibre.
