Thank you,
Firstly, I can't help with KOReader and the Wireless driver. I don't use either and have no real idea how hey work. But, there is an error in the log which probably explains why there are no books. Also, the book list shown by KOReader and then this driver has no direct relationship with the books shown by the Kobo software (nickel) and either the KoboTouch or KoboTouchExtended drivers. Nickel and KOReader find books in completely different ways and may not be searching the same places on the device.

The results using the KoboTouchExtended driver is very strange. It appears to have only found three book, but, the device list shows five. And most of those are screenshots. Unfortunately, there is not enough information in the debug log. Which again is unusual. One of the few things I can think of is that all your books are previews. The default configuration for the driver is to not show previews. This can be changed and these books will appear.

Can you do some things and questions to answer:

Take a screen shot of the book list in nickel. I want to see more details of the books as the device sees them.

In the driver, set the "Title to test when debugging" to the name of one of the books that is not showing. Then run calibre in debug mode with the device connected and post the log again. This option will show details about the book in the debug log. You do not need to put the full book title in, just the start. But, it must be an exact match to the title.

Send a book from calibre to the device. When you disconnect, check that the book is imported and displayed. Then connect again see if calibre shows the book in the device list and matched to the book in the library.

What happens when you disconnect the device? Is it showing the books correctly? Does it reimport any sideloaded books? Do you lose any reading status?
