Usually, the Kobo screen reverts to "My Books" and I see a status bar importing the books, after which the new books appear on the home screen.

But now I am no longer getting the status bar. When I look into the Kobo memory using Windows Explorer I can see the files I uploaded, but they do not appear in My Books – or anywhere else, after doing a search.

I tried deleting the files using Windows Explorer and then re-importing, but that made no difference. I have 6.2 GB free, so space is not the problem.
Where are the books on the device? As I stated, some locations do not get searched for new books. And, you can block other locations with a config file entry. The books also need to have valid file names, and be of types that the device will import. Other files will just get ignored. Also, double check that the books are not in the book list. If you replaced books, they won't show as new books and will appear further down the list of books.

Also, when new books are added to the device, strictly, they do not appear on the home screen. The "My Books" icon usually shows the cover of three recently imported books. But, it isn't always the last three books.
